Welcome to Dakota Sun Studios!
I am glad you stopped by to look at my handcrafted lampwork beads and jewelry which are made in my home studio.
About the beads
All of my lampwork beads are handmade by me in my home studio. They are wound on a 3/32" mandrel and are immediately placed in my digital kiln for annealing. Annealing increases their strength and durability. The holes are carefully cleaned of bead release and are ready for your unique creations. I use Italian, German, and American boutique glass.
I am a self representing artist (M-126), a member of ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers) and various other bead groups.
Check it out ~ etsy is fun and not an auction based format for shopping.

Be advised - I do not collect personal information, therefore I do not keep it or sell/give it to anyone else.
