Colleen Cochrane is a lampwork glass artist. She works with soft glass, using it to create bead sized works of art. Many classes and almost 20 years of experience go into making these beads. Her beads usually take between 15 minutes and 2 hours to create over a mixed fuel torch. Inspiration comes from pictures or colour combinations seen just about anywhere. Up to 15 different colours may be used in making a bead.
