Linda has been making lampwork beads and designing and crafting jewelry since December 2007. She had never heard of lampworking until a friend mentioned it to her. After searching the internet for lampwork and becoming mesmerized by the beauty of the beads she found, she located a class nearby and in one weekend, she became hooked on melting glass. Linda says she still has much to learn, but she's enjoying every moment she gets to spend on her torch creating glass beads.
