Brenda Morrison is a lampworker who has been creating groovy glass beads on a live flame for over twenty years.  Her adventures in glass began at a weekend class that turned into a hobby which turned into a passion and she has been obsessed ever since.  Brenda melts colored glass rods over a flame, wrapping the molten glass around treated steel mandrels, winding and using graphite tools & gravity.

Brenda & Jim travel all over the country showing their work at art shows and craft fairs.  At a show, jewelry isn't displayed in glass cases intentionally -- it is our belief that glass should be out in the open where people can touch & feel the beads.  Nothing makes Brenda happier than when a customer delights in both the visual & tactile experience of her work.  Hearing a spontaneous "this is so cool" as they move the glass beads in their hands is the ultimate compliment. We are pleased when someone chooses a handmade object over a mass produced item.  Choosing character and charm over mass production is ideal.
