Biography – Erin Pell Glassy-Eyed Beads I have been working with glass since 1999. I began studying glass blowing with Mark Chapman in Palm Springs, California, while working with Mark I began playing around with a torch and started making glass beads. When I had my children I focused solely on making glass beads and pendants. Her pieces of wearable art glass have been sold through galleries throughout Canada and into the USA. I was born in New Brunswick, but grew up mainly in the Muskoka area of Ontario. I have also lived in Oaxaca and Jalisco, Mexico; Porvoo, Finland; California and New Hampshire, USA. And since 2007 I have been based in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since both my parents were professional fine crafts people, I grew up at craft shows (slept under the table at my first one when I was 2 months old) and was exposed to many, many different mediums and styles of art and craft. I knew since very early that the arts and making were my calling in life. When it comes down to it, I need to create.

Lampworking – Flameworking I use a technique called lampworking to create my little pieces of art glass. Lampworking or flameworking as it is sometimes called is the process of melting glass rods in the flame of a torch to the point where they are soft enough to sculpt into the design I want. I can layer different colours to get different patterns as well as using thin glass rods, called stringers, to “paint” the design onto the bead or pendant. Most of my work is down freehand (which means I use no mandrel to make a hole for the bead) at the end of a glass rod (see the picture to the right). I don’t use any molds or presses to do my work which means that no two pieces are exactly alike, though may be similar in design. All my glass is annealed for strength, and is checked before selling for any flaws. I take great pride in the quality and originality of my work.
