My name is Ann Tudor and I am a glass artist and jewelry designer by profession and a knitter for fun. My glass work is done using a technique called lampworking or torchwork. Rods of colored glass are melted with a torch and the hot glass is manipulated into different shapes. My glass work ranges from beads to larger home decor items that I create using glass sculptural pieces and metal. My jewelry has evolved over the years and currently I am incorporating non-traditional items into my pieces. My latest creative work however, has been making stitch markers for knitting and crochet.
