Glitteringprize

by Trudi Doherty

Hello and welcome to my craft fest stall
I’m a lampworker living in Northamptonshire and I’ve been making my own beads for about 6 years now.
All the lampwork beads are handmade made by me in Lamp Lodge, my new purpose built studio. Sizes given are approx, and as part of their charm & characteristics, may have slight variations! Wouldn't it be boring if everything was all the same!!
To make them strong, I pop all the beads into a digitally controlled kiln, which helps to eliminate any stress, and they are all cleaned so that they arrive with you ready to use!! This is the difference between buying artisan beads and mass produced ones, when you see them, you can see the quality. Website, Etsy , Facebook , Craftfest Stall

Anna's Jewellery Designs

by April Luescher

At Anna's Jewellery Designs, our passion is for creating unusual “statement” pieces of jewellery using genuine Murano glass, lampwork beads, semi-precious stones and pearls. The Murano glass components we use are personally selected from the studio of a top-class designer on the island in the Venetian lagoon. The lampwork beads, semi-precious stones and pearls used in our jewellery are also chosen for their vibrant colours and unusual character. The result is eye-catchingly beautiful, stunningly individual, and surprisingly affordable.

Taexalia Jewellery

I make beads, pendants and focals using polymer clay which I then make into jewellery pieces. I prefer to make one-of-a-kind pieces for my one-of-a-kind customers.
I blend my own colours and am most often inspired by nature to create a new palette, although my pieces are often stark and dramatic.
