Self Representing Artist's
What is SRA?We are a group of glass artists who are dedicated to the art of lampworking, an ancient art form that flourished in Italy in the 1300s and then spread throughout Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world.Visit: www.self-
My number is S87, it's a useful group to belong to especially if you are making and selling beads through ebay. Buyers can be confident that the beads they are purchasing are hand made and not mass produced. You are not allowed to be a member if you do.
Fritt Happens Forum
This site has been my saviour the last few months, after loosing my husband I often trawl the threads in the forum to keep me sane and let me know that there are others out there. The site is full of useful information, tutorials and general every day chat. You don't have to be a lampwork to join but I can guarantee that you will soon want to try it out. The site is full of knowlege and useful tips on making beads and jewelery. Have a look and be brave, jump in and join up.
