Carla di Francesco started beadmaking in 2004 and won different competitions for "best bead" in the following years. She opend the studio "Cosmic Candy" in Stuttgart, Germany where she lives, works and teaches beadmaking to people from all over the world. Carla appeared in lampwork magazines and books in Europe, Japan and the US with her work and tutorials on beadmaking. She's known for her crisp, colorful and clear designs in glass ... which she calls her "Cosmic Candies".

Originally from the United States, I've been living in Germany with my husband for the past 11 years. I started lampworking in March 2005 when I happened to stumble upon an Ebay auction featuring handmade glass beads. I was blown away with the depth and detail and the possibilities! Within just a few months I had bought all of my own equipment, a few books, lots of glass and the rest is history.

Artistically speaking, my passion has always been sculpting. I started with clay several years ago and so it was quite natural for me to translate that passion into my glass art as well. I am best known for my goddess beads, my Ojime-style toads and frogs, my mask beads, and my bas-relief style WaterBearer beads.

Currently, I'm a full time glass artist working out of my home studio in northern Germany. I sell the majority of my work online.

Al tijdens zijn opleiding tot glasinstrumentmaker raakt Frans Meeuwsen gefascineerd door glas. Zijn 40 jarige ervaring in het bewerken van Zachtglas, Borocilicaatglas als ook Quartsglas maken van hem een allround vakman.
Zijn vrije werk, hoofdzakelijk uitgevoerd in borocilicaatglas is zeer divers en bestaat o.a. uit sculpturen, en glazen sieraden. Het zoeken naar grenzen is zijn grootste uitdaging.

Lorna Prime began lampworking in 2005, firing up a Hothead torch in her coal shed. Completely self taught as a beginner, she then took a one day workshop in 2007 with Dora Schubert, and Michael Silberberg in 2009.
