River Beads Welcomes Guest Lampwork Artist Bridget Beck

 Bridget Beck
Bridget Beck began her artistic journey creating with
stained glass and working her way up to fused and slumped glass.
Eventually finding herself
herself with an abundance of scrap glass she could not bring
herself to throw out, she took a class in lampworking
with the intent of using her scraps. One class was all it took to fall
in love and begin her life long addiction to the art of creating
handcrafted glass
beads.
Studying with world renowned lampwork artists such as
Sharon Peters, Jim Smircich and
Doug Remshneider, left an imprint on her styles and skills, as well as
an affinity toward the odd and unusual. But in the 10 years she has
been creating, her designs have taken on a style all their
own and she herself has become a master lampworker.
Bridget's work has been published in
Bead Unique Magazine and featured several times in the local media.
