Cindy Reed began working with
stained glass in 1985 and was contented until she discovered "hot"
glass. She began bead stringing about 20 years ago using natural
stone beads. In 1999, her husband showed her an e-bay auction for
handmade lampwork beads and she was hooked. After buying lampwork
beads from very talented glass artists for several years, she decided
to try it herself. Cindy took her first class with Jackie Knabel
in 2001; since then, she has studied glass with several artists,
including Lezlie Belanger, Marilyn Peraza, Betty Fetvedt, Tink Martin
and Deb Crowley. |
