My name is Lesley and I like to make glass beads .



I live in Staffordshire with my 3 children and, for most of the week I  work from my home studio making glass beads in the flame.
I also like to give my time, 1 day a week,  as a volunteer, working on a local Domestic Violence Helpline, supporting women living with abuse.

 Although I currently live in the city, most of
my beads are still inspired by the memories,  colour and form of the countryside where I grew up..... the Peak District.

I love music... it is my life... and I love to get out and about and socialise whenever possible.

I love to try lots of different craft techniques too... another favourite of mine is silk painting. From time to time you will see my silk painted cards and other sundries for sale on this site.
