Tammy Osczepinski visiting July 14 and 15!

Tammy Osczepinski is joining us at Brea Bead Works for a fun-filled weekend of Sea Creatures, Flowers, Frogs and more.

In November 2002 Tammy’s interest of art was spurred by attending the Festival of the Master’s at Disney where she admired all of the beautiful artwork, especially the glass. Through her education in endless flameworking workshops she decided to bravely take the big step and enrolled in a 5-day workshop with Loren Stump. She did this only 9 months after taking her first seat at the torch. Talk about nerve wracking! Although grueling, Tammy thought it was a great workshop and extremely informative.

Besides having one of her beads in the Lampwork Glass Museum in Kobe Japan, she has had the privilege of meeting other great lampwork artists like Sharon Peters, Cindy Jenkins, Heather Trimlett, Kim Miles, Corina Tettinger, Patti Walton, John Olson, Barbara Becker-Simon and may others.

Tammy knows this is just the start of her flameworking journey and looks forward to the amazing places it will take her to!
