Cindy Reed began working with stained glass in 1985 and contented until she found the excitement of playing with "hot" glass. She began bead stringing about 20 years ago using natural stone beads. In 1999, her husband showed her an ebay 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 of Canterbury Keepsakes. In 2005 she took a class with Deb Crowley learning new techniques to make fish and birds. She is a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and the Florida Glass Dragons. |
