About Me

At Burnt Glass Studio we work with a variety of mixed metals (like copper and silver) and lampwork glass beads to create unique one of a kind hand-crafted jewelry. We also teach others how to create their own one of a kind jewelry. We do in-house group classes, individual sessions and home parties. Please feel free to contact us for more information. You can also find us on facebook and "like" Burnt Glass Studio!!

My Fav's {Calgary, Alberta Glass Bead/ Jewellery Artist and Teacher}

I absolutely love being creative and one of my joys in life is sitting down at the torch and creating beautiful glass beads.  I can spend hours in my studio listening to music and creating - it is such a wonderful, peaceful feeling that fills my heart with joy.

I also love sharing my creativity with others who love to be creative.  Teaching people how to work with mixed metals to create unique pieces of jewellery or teaching people how to create a beautiful glass bead or pendant - it just doesn't get any better than that!

If you love to be creative and want to learn something new or want to dip your feet into the world of jewellery making, I would love to meet you!!

For more information about one on one or group workshops feel free to contact me - Brenda King at burntglassstudio@shaw.ca

Glass Beads {Calgary, Alberta Glass Bead/ Jewellery Artist and Teacher}

After taking an amazing course in Northern Alberta I created these Geisha girl and flower glass beads.  Making glass beads has to be one of my favourite things, that and hanging out with my Grand-babies!!  I find sitting down at the torch and creating beautiful beads very relaxing and therapeutic, I can spend hours on end in my studio glass beading!!
