My name is
Pauline Holt and 'Jazzy Lily Jewellery' was started by me as a
simple hobby, back
in 1993. I began by making bead jewellery from a range of
bought-in beads, but my passion
now is for making my own,
individually crafted, glass beads. I live in Buckinghamshire, England and if you would like to chat about Lampworked Glass Beads, or if you would like to purchase small quantities of glass beads or jewellery, just 'click' on my email below. |

Each
bead is individually made. A glass rod is heated to a molten state and
then wrapped around a steel mandrel. By rotating the mandrel whilst
continuing to heat the glass and making use of surface tension and
gravity, a glass bead is eventually formed. By applying small amounts of different
coloured molten glass to the main ’bead’ whilst it is still hot, I
am able to create patterns and decorations which then become fused
into the ‘bead’ as it cools down. The wonderful thing is, each bead is unique
and a work of art in its own rite. If you want to learn more, I regularly teach beadmaking for Plowden &
Thompson in Stourbridge. in the West Midlands - or My Shed.htm for
details of classes in Aylesbury. Please note my e mail address has changed to pauline@jazzylily.com Click
