Lauren Ekman
Lauren Ekman lives, plays and makes glass beads in her California studio since 1999. She has been an educator, including a school principal, for decades. Her passion is working on the torch and seeing the redredmelt of the glass as it turns into a bead or critter. The creations lean toward abstract color combinations that stir up happiness and reflect a modern garden. People get to wear the smooth magic of melted glass in the colors of a well-balanced garden. Sometimes you will see a cottage garden, a vegetable, and herb, or cactus garden. Often it's just the colors of a single fruit or flower. She continues to travel the country to learn from other flameworkers and teaches at The Crucible.
Ralph McCaskey
Ralph McCaskey has been creating sculptural glass beads for 13 years in his subterranean studio 3-1/2 stories beneath Downtown California. He wishes to thank his wife for making it possible, and his children for making it necessary.
