Lampwork glass beads and jewellery by Pris McGirr

 

Hi and welcome to my website. I am a UK Lampworker, making glass beads using centuries-old techniques but with modern equipment such as a propane and oxygen torch, and a digitally controlled kiln in which they are annealed for strength and durability.

Working with glass gives me endless possibilities of colour, texture, depth and detail to use in my designs. I particularly love the irridescent qualities of silver glass, and the changeable nature of it. All my beads are unique, and my focal beads especially seem to take on a personality all of their own, hence their names!

When I have time I enjoy making jewellery using my own beads with sterling silver, Tibetan silver or silver-plated beads and silk ribbons and strings.

 I hope you find something here that you like and will maybe want to own!

 
  Here I am in my workshop where I make my beads. I can also be found at many events around the county of Lincolnshire selling my jewellery and my home made fudge. ....(see Forthcoming Events)... where you can see for yourselves how beautiful lampwork glass is, and try on some of my creations. In the meantime please have a browse around the site including the Gallery and the Online Shop.
