Magic Web Glass and Jewellery Design by Elaine Gohlke
My greatest fascination has always been with glass: the vivid colours; the variety of textures; the way it comes to life and sparkles in the light. Raising three very active boys was not conducive to glass as a creative outlet, but eventually they grew into men and risk management became less of an issue. Work with stained glass, mosaics, and classes in lampworking became “safer”, my “meditation” and relaxation of choice, The obvious next step was jewellery classes and the merging of glass with metal.
Jewellery is for all occasions and it’s up to you how and when you wear it. Each person sees things differently. Keeping this in mind, my designs are simple and somewhat organic, with a focus on texture, shape and colour. Silver, copper, titanium and niobium creations will often include my handmade glass beads and cabochons. No two pieces are identical, but one can be made to include your special view.
