~ About the Artist...
~ My name is Ania, and I am a beadwork artisan. All the work you see on this website has been hand-crafted by me.
~ I discovered a passion for beadworking about 7 years ago, with the help of a good friend named Linda, who started me with a few basics and encouraged me in my progress. My wedding album cover was my very first beadwork project (album cover). I have also learned the artform of lampworking, which involves melting glass over a torch flame to create unique, hand-formed glass beads, one at a time.
~ I was born in Poland, but when I was young, my family immigrated to Canada. I studied at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, and completed an Honours Bachelor's Degree in English Literature. I currently live with my husband in the beautiful province of British Columbia.
~ I enjoy creating a variety of unique, original beadwork items for people to enjoy and treasure. Please take a look around the various galleries - I hope you like what you see, and that you receive inspiration for your own custom jewellery design! All my best :-)
