Thanks for stopping to visit Bead Up A Storm on Etsy, handmade lampwork beads made in my studio in the beautiful Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.
I am a Self Representing Glass Artist, number H -186. You can be assured that every bead in this shop was made by me, one at a time, at the torch in my studio. No part of my designs has been outsourced.
You can contact me via convo here, Bead Up A Storm on Facebook or at my beadupastorm.com website.
From time to time I undertake commissions - please send me a message if you would like me to make something especially for you.

Additional policies and FAQs
Please be aware that glass beads are pretty tough, but not indestructible. Treated with care they will outlast us all!
If you drop them on a hard surface they may break or chip (especially sculptural pieces with sticking out bits like ears!), sharp glass can cut you! So please treat them nicely :)
My beads are not intended for small children and can be a choking hazard. So please be aware of this and take precautions.
