Biography of Artist
Wendy Harris' fascination with glass started in the over 12 years ago in the mid 1990's.  She began visiting local bead shops and trade shows purchasing unusual glass beads and turning them into unique pieces of jewelry.  She started offering her pieces at local craft shows.  At that time the beading business was really booming and she
wanted to do something different than everyone else.  With the encouragement of close friends and family, she enrolled in a four-week lampworking glass bead class.  It only took one class and      
Wendy was hooked.       
     She recalls, "There was open studio time during the week where I could go and practice what I had learned and I spent every available minute there experimenting with different colors and techniques as well as watching other glass artists using different techniques with sheets of glass creating fused jewelry. That process also piqued my interest.  I purchased some scrap glass sheets and experimented with fusing."

     Soon Wendy found that she was spending so much time at the studio that she soon purchased her own equipment and set up
a studio.  Her first kiln was large enough for annealing several glass beads as well as for fusing glass pendants. She has since added two additional kilns and a second torch to the Designz By
Wendy Studio.
        Wendy Harris has studied glass bead-making with glass beadmakerJames Smircich and Corina Tettinger.

       Wendy Harris is a Juried member of Best of Missouri Hands Artisans Group.  

       She is also a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers as well as a member of the St. Louis Lampworker's Society.

      "The possibilities are endless when creating glass pieces whether with flameworked glass beads or fused glass."
