Helen Moore attended a two day lampworking course early in
2008 at the Born to Bead Studio and quickly became
captivated with the art form. Soon after she decided that it
was time to set up her own home studio, where she uses Effetre and New Zealand’s own Gaffer soda-lime glass to make
her glass beads.
Beads are taken from the torch straight to the kiln
where they are properly annealed for strength and
durability.
For years Helen had dabbled in other art forms from painting
to embroidery, through to scrap-booking, I
feel that I have finally found the perfect outlet for my
creativity”. Helen is inspired by New Zealand’s
beautiful landscapes and the exquisite colours and shapes it
offers on a daily basis. She loves creating tiny
flower garden beads, funky bright coloured beads, and
exploring new techniques and colour combinations.
“I make all of my beads to reflect my love of art and pride
of workmanship. I hope that you enjoy my beads as much as I
enjoyed making them.”
