Hello and welcome to my website.  This is a work in progress thing so please check back!  Not too often as I am rubbish at computers!  You can always email as I check that everyday.  

Everything you see is designed and made by me, Phillipa.   I work full time so it is very much somthing I do when I can fit it in!  I take a huge amount of care over every item as I would hate to sell something you were not happy with.

I love working with lampwork glass and anything that sparkles - as you will see!  Virtually all the lampwork glass I use is made in the UK by my favourite artists and I will tell you who they are in the descriptions.  All of beautiful glass beads are properly annealed (it strengthens the glass by removing any stresses) and cleaned.  As these beads are handmade no two are ever exactly the same, so you really are getting a piece of art - none of the artists I use mass produce beads.

The only time I ever make the same piece twice is for weddings - bridemaids normally have to match!    I really do aim on everything being an individual piece.  If you have an idea in mind let me know and we could work together on it - I like the odd challenge. 

If you need to talk about any of the pieces you see or even about an idea you have just drop me an email info@pipkindesigns.co.uk and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I am always happy to discuss beads!

Have fun!

Phillipa.
