Beads of Oz

Part of my job (I think!) here on Art Bead Scene, is to seek out folk all over the world who create art beads. It's great to make local connections, but it's also exciting to think that way on the other side of the world, bead artists are busy in their studios, creating gorgeous pieces of art for you and I to transform into jewellery. So in my international outing today, I decided to go about as far away as you can from me, here in the UK, and seek out bead artists from Australia. Specifically lampwork artists. Look at the glorious colours that abound below! Remember that the Southern Hemisphere is in spring mode, moving towards summer, rather than heading through autumn to winter as many of us are.

I really struggled to find artists who weren't working in the medium of glass - are you over there in Oz, ceramic artists, polymer artists, metal artists? I would love to know more of the beady spoils that your beautiful country produces! Leave a comment here if you have a new artist to share with us here on Art Bead Scene.
