Seattle, WA. USA
I studied glass and jewelry techniques at California College of Arts
and Crafts with Marvin Lipofsky (glass) and Alan Revere (jewelry). I
have been working with glass for over 25 years in one form or
another. Currently, I create hand blown glass jewelry and wholesale
my work. I blow and pull tubing, cut the tubing into individual
beads, fire polish each bean then design and create my collection of
jewelry. I have had this business for over 3 years now. I also
create my own personal work using lampworking techniques to create
limited edition artistic jewelry and one of a kind pieces. I live
and work in Seattle Washington, am married with 2 children.

Jennifer Fay Fraser
Moggill, Qld. Australia
I live in Brisbane, Australia My jewelery making is largely focused
on making one-off pieces using investment casting with natural
materials such as leaves and seed pods so as to express in silver
and other materials the natural environment that surrounds us and
gives us a sense of place and belonging.
Beyond my basic silversmithing knowledge which is no better than
average, my major interest is in casting. I now have my own studio
setup with a kiln, crucible furnace and vacuum casting machine. My
interest is in developing effective techniques of combining wax
working with natural materials to produce sound and aesthetically
effective works of art.
