Welcome to this 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
"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! I am now a full time bead maker, 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.
