What is this world if full of care we have no time to stop and stare....at molten glass transforming into a bead!

As a child I was always in another world, bit of a dreamer! These days I dream of the beads to be made.

My collection of marbles... rarely played with, just viewed for the colours and shapes within. You can imagine how it feels to find 50 (+) years later to return to my childhood dreams....

Somewhere in the middle I had my four lovely children, all grown up now! Owned a stall at Covent Garden from which I sold enamelled jewellery at weekends and still had time for tea!

My friend at Covent Garden, Ray Napier suggested I join a bead-making course.. firstly with a guy called Winston and then one with Kate Drew-Wilkinson. I have been hooked ever since. Thank you Ray for introducing me to my final passion, making glass beads.

I hope you enjoy my web site designed by my daughter-in-law Hannah Helyer.
