​Lampwork Artist and Jewelry Designer

​Inspired by Nature,
created for you...

---

Welcome to Shiny Things by Roxanne. I am a glass artist and jewelry designer. So, what is a glass artist, you ask? Well, I melt glass and shape it to create unique beads or art decor, using an ancient art form known as Lampworking. 
​
I enjoy experimenting with different colours and shapes and I tend to be a bit more organic in my designs. Please browse and see what I've been working on lately. While I have a number of items available in my shop, I am always happy to do custom work. It is truly rewarding to work with someone and be able to create an item that is unique to them or for that someone special in their life.

There are so many colours and shapes in nature that inspire me...

I love the art of lampworking to create one-of-a-kind beads. Then, with these beads, I design unique pieces of jewelry; jewelry that I hope speaks to the person who wears it.

Lampworking, or flameworking, is an ancient art, where artists used an oil lamp to melt glass. Now a torch is primarily used to this. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is then placed in a kiln where it goes through a process known as "annealing". This will harden the bead so that it can be used to create beautiful jewelry.
