Clicking on this photo of encased "bonbon" beads will take you to Ellen's Etsy shop.
Welcome to this new website featuring handmade lampwork beads by Pacific Northwest artist Ellen Dooley. Her beads have been included in many museum and gallery exhibitions as well as private collections all over the world
In the next couple of weeks, a new pop up store will open here. One of a kind goodies (both lampwork and others) will be available in limited quantities for a limited time.
"I bought a torch before I ever made any lampwork beads. We live not far from the Pilchuck glass school. Some of the best glass artists in the country work in the NW corner of Washington State. The first time I saw glass beads, I knew that wanted to study lampworking. So I bought a torch, took a class at Pratt in Seattle, and then practice, practice, practice! That was over eighteen years ago! I am now a full time beadmaker, making lampwork beads every day in my studio."
Thanks for visiting!
Ellen
My most recent glass beads are included in the Lampwork Bead Galleries
There are links to interesting lampwork tutorials: a resource for beadmakers as well as for those interested in the process.
