More About Us



C.N.Y. Glass Studio & GalleryArtists: Christopher & Jacquelyn Rice:



What kind of beads do you make? What kinds of processes do you use? What is your favorite beadmaking technique? Lampwork Beads, Marbles, Sculpture and Goblets are our specialties! We love making glass into a works of art in all shapes and sizes. We also dabble in glass fusing, slumping, and sandblasting. Our favorite techniques are making flowers and butterfly implosions and cartoon like critter beads.


How did you get into bead making? What are some of the important things you do for your business? Chris began working with glass about 7 years ago focusing primarily on blown work and hollow forms. From there he ventured into marbles and has never looked back. Jacquelyn began lampworking about a year later with the same approach. After a while Jacquelyn began to stray to find her own calling in glass art. She found sculpture and bead making allowed her to express her humor and adventurous personality better and on a smaller scale. Two most important things to do as a business is to never put all your eggs in one basket, and be open minded. For every minute not working is another dollar left unearned.
