In early 2005, I joined Hong Kong Disneyland and learned the skills of a lampwork glass artist. I spent the next years developing my Abuda workshop, creating handmade glass beads, marbles and figurines all with a unique, strong storytelling element and 100% local handmade glass.
"ABUDA" was the first word spoken by my sweet daughter. It means the being born of local lampwork glassmaking.
Now based in London I am looking forward to meeting more talented local artists, introducing traditional lampworking skills to the public and developing lampwork into a main handicraft in England.
I will be demonstrating my techniques during the Artists’ Open House 17th and 18th September.
