Creative Spirit Glass Bead Studio, Wendy Adams, Fanny Bay

Wendy is a Glass bead artist from Fanny Bay,BC. She started her Journey into glass in 2001. Her Beads are made by melting imported glass rods over a 2200f propane/oxygen flame.The molten glass is then wound onto a stainless steel rod, called a mandrel. By using heat, gravity,and a variety of tools a bead is born.Wendy finds that working with a substance that is molten one minute and solid the next, very technically challenging yet liberating.She then anneals her beads to remove any stesses from the glass thus strengthening them;making them more durable.Wendy uses only the finest components such as sterling silver,bali silver and swarovski crystals. Wendy feels very blessed to be able to create these pieces of "wearable art"
