Lisa Niven Kelly
Lisa has been beading for fifteen years and teaching for twelve. She specializes in doing just about everything. She is an extraordinarily talented glass bead maker, wire worker, and seed bead artist. Beadwork is her full time job. She spends her weekdays making and marketing her line of handmade glass beads, and her nights and weekends teaching workshops. The top images shows three examples of Lisa's unique and lovely glass beads and the bottom image shows an example of her seed bead jewelry. (Click on the images to see larger views of these exquisite work of art.) 
Lisa teaches classes in seed beads and wire. Often her classes emphasize the design possibilities in combining the two media. Her hands-on experience with all aspects of the beading business (including managing a bead store) has taught her what it takes to facilitate a successful and fun workshop. "Teaching brings me endless smiles. I love the excitement explosions in class, caused by learning something new to create with your hands. It is so inspiring to watch fellow beaders produce individual pieces of art, which will become the antiques and heirlooms of the future." To see more examples of Lisa's work, visit her website at http://www.leelabeads.com. In particular, if you want to be allowed to register for any of her classes, you must make a tremendous fuss about her latest and most wonderful project: her darling and adorable girls, Izzy (aged 3) and Lucy (aged 8 months). You can find Lisa's beads and jewelry in galleries and bead shops throughout California (including The Beading Frenzy, where she works one day a week). |
