Christina Catherine Handmade Lampwork Glass Art Beads

CCGlassArt's Shop Announcement

Hello and welcome to my Etsy online bead shop!

Although new to Etsy, I have been selling for 11 years on eBay with a 100% positive feedback rating from more than 500 transactions.

About Me & My Beads:

All beads are handmade by me, Christina Catherine, (SRA - Self Representing Artist) in my home-based lampworking studio here in sunny Southern California.

I work with many different brands of the highest quality glass including Italian Effetre/Moretti, American Bullseye, German Lauscha, Japanese Satake, and more, on my flameworking torch.

I love to incorporate special effects into the glass whenever I can, such as fine silver, dichroic glass, goldstone, enamels, and reactive silver glass for added flair and interest.

Once formed and flame polished, each and every bead is immediately placed into a preheated firebrick kiln which is digitally controlled to anneal the glass to perfection. This way you can expect to enjoy the brilliance and durability of my beads for many years to come.

Upon removal from the mandrel, each bead is given a thorough bead-hole scrubbing to ensure no excess bead release is left behind and for a professional finish.

Every step that goes into making my beads is done with the utmost care and attention to detail using only the finest quality materials available.

Each piece I create is as special and unique as the person who will wear and enjoy it for years to come!
