About
Welcome! I’m Andrew.
I make all of the work you will see on this site using a process called Flameworking.
Each piece of glass is a one of a kind, handmade treasure - created to last.

FAQs
What are they?
Answer: Jewelry
These pendants are designed to be worn as a necklace.
They can be strung onto a favorite chain or chord.
How are they made?
Answer: Using a process called Flameworking
Glass rods and tubes are skillfully melted and manipulated by hand in a flame.
Once the piece is complete, it is set in a kiln and put through an annealing, or cooling cycle.
Are they Fragile?
Answer: Not especially
Although they are made entirely out of glass, they are designed and constructed to be durable enough to wear for any occasion.
They do not require any special care or upkeep.
