ABOUT PATTY LAKINSMITH
Patty-Lankinsmith-BioI have been playing with hot glass for a while now.  In 2003 I happened to take an introductory bead making class, and with great stress I produced a number of horrible UFOs (Unidentified Fried Objects).  I was terrified of the flame, and completely useless.  But there was no turning back; my curious passion for bead making was awoken and it has not slept since.  It mystifies me to this day that I had never seen a lampwork bead before I took my first class, and would not see any for several months as I practiced cautiously in my garage.
One of the things I find so fascinating, so addictive about this art is that the possibilities are endless – countless colors, techniques, styles. I have been lucky to have taken classes from some amazing artists who have taught me a ton of amazing and endlessly useful things about fine silver, glass, electricity, color, and form.
I am a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) and Lampwork Etc., and am a registered Self Representing Artist (SRA #L-43).
When I’m not melting glass and making jewelry I enjoy cooking, gardening, fishing and hiking with my family and our exuberant chocolate lab,  and most recently, raising chickens.
