Hi
everyone!
My
name is Susan Spealman and I am the self-taught
Lampworker
Artisan behind Old Pueblo Bead
Company. I live in Tucson,
Arizona, where I create lampwork glass beads while
enjoying
the warm, colorful, and
inspiring southwest desert environment.
I
have always loved anything glass. And one Christmas
my boyfriend, at the time, bought me a beautiful
lampwork bracelet. I loved it and wore it
everywhere. Then one day I thought to myself wouldn’t
it be great if I could learn how to make beads so I
could have as many bracelets as I wanted.
So
one day I got myself a “starter kit” and absolutely
fell in love with the whole process of making beads.
I found myself becoming addicted. Then things just
went from there, before I knew it my hobby had become
a business. |
