Sandra Bornemann - Featured Artist

Sandra Bornemann - Glass Bead Artist
Sandra Borneman – Glass Bead Artist

Sandra was born in Berlin in 1968 and currently lives with her husband and two sons in Bedfordshire.

She has made her first experiences with glass in 2004. Ever since has she been fascinated by this wonderful and versatile material. Glass is a never ending source of inspiration and possibilities!

The artistic joy in experimenting with natural looking shapes, colours and surfaces is Sandra´s main motivation. This is why she often uses enamels and frits in her beads. In addition to this she loves the combination of lampworking and goldsmithing. Be it that a bead is simply lined with a silver core or that she incorporates silver bead caps into her designs. Sandra´s Janus solitaires show their two faces: the colourful glass on one side and structured silver work on the other.

Sandra works with original Italian Murano glass, Bohemian and American soft glass. Every glass bead is an individual piece of its own. After it has been finished it is properly annealed in a special kiln in order to achieve maximum durability.
