The "Arabella Collection" offers a range of classic and contemporary Accessories and Gifts to suit all ages. My collection of designer lampwork beads are created individually by me with intricate detail using glass rods. These beads have a complexity, vibrancy and depth makng them exclusive and unique. My pendants are made of "Dichroic Glass" fused at high temperature. "Dichroic Glass" is actually a dielectric interference filter attached to the surface of a piece of glass. The interference filter has a unique characteristic of shifting its colour as you change the angle of view making this product very unpredictable. The finished products are then annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for strength and durability.
The glass beads and pendants can be designed in any colour and design to match your wardrobe, if you are looking for something special for yourself, a loved one or for a Special Occasion then contact me to discuss your needs.
Besides fashion accessories, the "Arabella Collection" also offers a selection of Artwork, Crafts and Gifts for sale.
About the Artist Crafts have been a passion of mine from a young age, whether it is sewing or creating something useful. Over the years during my husband's career we tavelled and lived in different countries all over Europe, Scandanavia and the Far East, before settling in Norfolk.
Now retired, I am able to pursue my many hobbies, one of which is working with glass creating accessories and stained-glass garden ornaments from my studio for sale, as well as at various exhibitions and shows. My aspiration as an artist is to capture the beauty of nature in the form of contemporary artworks. Each piece of creation harnesses the astounding shape and light of nature around the Norfolk Coast.
My studio is a summer house overlooking flowering shrubs and trees in the garden. This is where I get my great source of inspiration experimenting with shape and colours. Focusing on texture incorporating them into my designs using various techniques making each piece unique. My collections are continually changing with new designs being added regularly.
I normally work on more than one project at a time, if I am not working on my jewellery collection I would either be painting, drawing or sewing so life in this household is never dull. I often undertake commissions for ladies gifts for special occasions and hold Workshops or Demonstrations for clubs or Charitable events, if you are interested in any of these please contact me for details.
I hope you enjoy what you see of my pieces of jewellery and paintings.
Please note that the studio is closed between November and February.
I specialise in people coming to my workshop near Norwich, in Norfolk, bringing me a spoon, quite often its a family piece, maybe grandmas jam spoon, a family tea spoon, or even christening spoons.
