Hi my name is Katy and my husband Aaron and our two cats Jasmine and Gypsy recently relocated from Cleveland, OH to Philadelphia, PA. I have been making glass beads since 1997 and have found it to be my ‘therapy’ focusing on making beautiful art glass beads and sculptures, which helps me keep perspective on life. I strive to create well-made, one of a kind wearable art. I support my family through selling my beads both through eBay and as finished jewelry at juried arts and crafts shows in the tri-state region.
I am a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers, currently serving as the Vice President of Education. I am also the past-president of the Hot Rods (The Cleveland ISGB chapter), and have recently joined the New Jersey Fire Devils ISGB Chapter. My work has been published in 1000 Glass Beads by Lark Books (2004) and in Step by Step Beads (2005). I have also demonstrated my techniques on the TV shows HGTV Crafters Coast to Coast and PBS Applause. The picture here is of Laura Bush with my husband and me when I was asked to represent the State of Ohio by creating an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree in 2002.
