Workshop

This is my empire, where I make the jewelry. The tools I need for my work are not many. I use a blowtorch, butane gas, oxigen and small pieces of glass. The glass I use comes from the Czech Republic and is known as “Ornela”. I also use rods of fine metal, separation cream, special glass cooling sand and a range of modeling tools. I use the blowtorch to melt the glass. When the glass is hot and has the consistency of honey, I push a metal rod through it to form a hole, in this way the beads can be threaded.
Glass comes in many different colours and can be mixed. When the glass is soft I make shapes, round, square, flat, anything is possible. When I am satisfied with the shape of a bead, I cool it in the sand. After a while I can remove the rod and Voila! I have produced a hand made bead.
This is my procedure for making jewelry. I like to mix my beads with others beads and semi precious stones. Sometimes silver or gold plate, also copper. It isn’t necessary to say much more about this. See for yourself the transformation and my products.
