Teresa Jones creates glass beads through a process called
lampworking. Italian Moretti glass is heated with an oxygen-propane
mix torch to approximately 1,600 degrees and then applied
to a stainless steel rod and shaped with brass and graphite
tools. Teresa enjoys paring unlikely colors with surprising
shapes and twists while assigning the art an ordinary function.
Like sweet and sour--the extraordinary for the ordinary!
Why shouldn’t a bottle opener, or a cheese knife be stunningly
unique as well as functional? She also creates unique glass
and silver jewelry for both black tie and blue jean moods.
Teresa is a self-taught glass artist and has been exploring
the art of lampworking in her Albuquerque studio for the
last six years.
