Welcome to Klose to Classic!       
And Thank You for visiting me online!

I first discovered the Art of Glass in 2001.  Since then, I have had the opportunity to study with and be inspired by many internationally known bead artists.

Using a variety of lampworking techniques, I blend colored glasses and precious metals, and shape the molten mass into unique beads.
 
Along the way, I faced another challenge:  How to integrate my beads into totally unique, exciting pieces of wearable art?  To that end, I started incorporating wire sculpture and metalsmithing along with my lampwork beads.
 
I hope you enjoy browsing my website.

You may even find a piece that "speaks to you."
