Hello! My name is Julie Couch.

Some years ago I decided that with my family growing up and making a few less demands on me I would be really radical and do something just for me! I went to university full time and studied for a BA (Hons) in Interior Design. It was hard work, but I had the most fantastic time and it reawakened the creative side in me that I had not tapped into for many years - usual story: work, family, etc.  I have since been back to university for more, having recently obtained an MA in Design Management.

While I love commercial interior design, you don’t always have the opportunity to completely let your creativity go.  Hot glass working fulfils my creativity.  I have always adored glass and the wonderful properties it has in relation to light and colour. I happened upon lamp working and bead making while surfing the Internet and was fascinated. I read all I could find on it and then took a class to make sure it was all that I thought it would be before buying the kit. I haven't looked back - I love it!

I hope you like my work and enjoy browsing my site. Any feedback or questions are welcomed. Thanks for reading!
