Thank you for taking the time to visit Old Crow Designs.
All of my beads are handmade in my home studio, which is located near Madison, Wisconsin. I was doing a lot of beading and happily accumulating more beads than anyone could use in a lifetime, when I took a lampwork class with some friends. I was hooked! Now I'm happily accumulating glass and tools - and marveling at the creative opportunities that lampwork has brought into my life. I hope you enjoy my beads as much as I enjoy making them.
I use a hot head torch and primarily Effrete (Moretti) and Vetrofond glass. My beads are cleaned and carefully kiln annealed for strength and durability. Please keep in mind that these are glass beads and although they are annealed, they are breakable.
I am glad to ship to anyone, anywhere. U.S. orders will be shipped by USPS First Class Mail unless you request otherwise prior to payment.
For all orders outside of the United States, please contact me prior to payment regarding shipping information and costs. You will be charged only the actual shipping costs.
