judy and john wilk

Judy hails from Chicago and has always had a love for the arts. She's done several mediums, including stained glass, and jewelry making. When she got into making jewelry and buying lampwork beads, she thought she'd check out this lampwork thing and see if it would be something she'd like.

Judy dove in head and heart! She was an amazing student, willing to learn, listen and apply everything she could soak up. Judy left with a whopping 59 beads! I think we'll be seeing Judy very soon making her own lampwork beads and applying them into her own jewelry!

	Judy was here alone in June of 2004, and returned with her husband, John for a Beadaway Weekend. It was a present to her for her birthday! They arrived late on Friday, from Chicago, because we forgot about the time difference, but we stayed up late and got started! Although Judy hadn't lampworked since she'd been here, her love for lampwork beads was still alive and well! She's been making some wonderful jewelry with handmade lampworked beads she's purchased on ebay. So now, with John in tow, they attacked the torches with reckless abandon! John was a quick study, and produced some fabulous beads. Maybe now that John is loving this as much as Judy, we'll be seeing them at bead events around the country! It was great to have them, and so nice to see Judy back again!
