Lampwork Beads - My Favorite Lampwork Bead Artists

If you're new to lampwork beads, the following artists will not only provide you with a great introduction to the art form, they'll set your standards so high that you'll never look at other beads the same.

And if you already love lampwork beads, then you will definitely want to check out the work of these artists -- trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Patti Walton
In all my days of obsessing over lampwork beads, I don't know if I've ever seen anyquite as elaborately detailed as Patti Walton's. Really - you have to check them out. Her gallery contains lots of beads, and each one looks like a tiny little glass fairyland - butterflies, flowers, entire scenes. Truly incredible. This site also features the cool and contemporary beads of John Olsen. A master of pattern and color, his beads are brilliant, and definitely worth a look as well.

Kim Miles
Without a doubt, some of the most gorgeous floral lampwork beads you'll ever see - stunning!

Selsey Designs
Gorgeous with a capital "G," Sheryl's beads offer beautiful color combinations and range from whimsical to breathtaking. Lots of florals, all of her beads are worth looking at, but the dimensional beads should definitely not be missed.

CC Design Bead Gallery
Breathaking dimensional floral beads and pendants. This artist also sells her beads and jewelry on eBay. You can find the link to her auctions on the site.

Air and Earth Designs
Pretty, pretty, pretty. Kandice Seeber's lampwork bead site features an array of lampwork beads, from holiday themes to funky florals. Here color combinations are great!

CorinaBeads
With beads including florals, geometric designs and more, "wow!" is all I can say about this lampwork bead artist. Corina's gallery is a must-see, but she also has a some great information for lampwork artists just starting out. Don't miss this site.
