About
Hello, I'm Carli.
I started with a lampwork glass beginner class in April 2005 have since studied under world renowned lampwork artists, including Corina Tettinger, Andrea Guarino-Slemmons, Holly Cooper, Leah Fairbanks, Bernard Stoner and Kathryn Wardill.
I use Soda Lime glass imported from Italy and the USA for their color vibrancy. My torch of choice is a dual fuelled Carlisle Mini CC torch and I use a computer controlled kiln for correctly annealed beads.
I've been silversmithing since late 2014, self taught using YouTube as my base guide and the local Gem Club for their advice and use of their tools. I use only natural gemstones, sourced locally and Internationally. I only use sterling and fine silver, and of course, my own lampwork glass beads and cabochons.
As a jewellery designer, I create One of a Kind jewellery pieces using the highest quality sterling and/or pure silver, genuine Gemstones, Swarovski crystals and Freshwater pearls.
I live in Victoria, and have a little garage studio surrounded by Australian bush.
