With a mother who is an avid glass paperweight collector it was only natural for me to be drawn to glass as an art medium.  I love the never-ending ways I can use color, shape, and texture to create my beads. 

 

Ann Campbell has loved beads from a young age, and in 1996 she had an opportunity to take a glass beadmaking class where her love for beadmaking was born with her first bead.  Her teachers include Kristina Logan, Kate Fowle, and Sally Prasch.  Ann set up a studio in Kennebunkport, Maine where she makes her glass beads and incorporates them into unique contemporary jewelry.
