Leah Fairbanks - Glass Beads

Glass Beads by Leah Fairbanks - Gardens of Glass. Leah began her career in glass in 1982 with studies at the prestigious Pilchuck School of Glass, and The Colton Glass School. From the onset of her lampworking career, Leah has translated her love of flora & fauna into delicate glass creations and aptly named her studio Gardens of Glass. Working with the exotic irises and orchids from her garden she drew upon nature to establish her sculptural collection of Goddesses, Angels and Mermaids. To achieve a life-like rendering of flowers and leaves, Leah frequently mixes her own blends of frit and enamel powders to personalize her glass beads.
