© 2007 Spheres Of Glass

My name is Sandy, I’m 47 years old and I live just outside Bath in the South West of England and have done so for some 25 years now.  

I’m married with two adult sons, one living in Polegate, the other in London.  Hubby is fully retired from the RAF after a long and successful career and is now playing golf on a daily basis, whilst I continue to work. (I would love to give up work but he won’t let me!)

My Sanctuary...

This is my places of sanctuary, my studio.  I’ve been making beads now for nearly four years in October.  

I used to make pottery and fairly successfully even if I say so myself, but it was extremely cold in the winter months and I would have to break ice off the clay before I could start so it was beginning to loose some of the magic when I discovered glass.

Hubby had just retired and taken up golf so in order to keep me happy he lagged the studio space, I sold all my pottery kit off and started making beads.  It’s nice and cosy now, complete with workstation, glass store and a nice area to carry out all the Admin.  I’ve also another area up here for making beads, taking pics and sitting at the window watching the cows in the field fight of the crows, pigeons, the odd owl and a family of foxes! But I’ve not taken any pics of that yet!
