2014 Festival of Glass exhibitor Janet Jenkin was an award winner at the Bead Society of Victoria's annual exhibition in November.
The award was for the best set of 5 non-identical handmade beads around the
theme, 'Sunset'. Janet took a novel twist in the theme and her set
of five beads each features the silhouette of a particular tree at
sunset. 'I made the lampwork bead bases then embellished the surfaces using a technique that I’ll teach in my Doddlebeads workshop at the Festival of Glass', said Janet.
The set is featured below; they are (L to R): Tropical Palm, Saguaro Cactus, Australian Grass Tree, African Umbrella Thorn
Tree and Australian Bottle Tree.
The annual Festival of Glass is held in Drysdale, Victoria (Australia). Established in 2011, the Festival celebrates the beauty and versatility of glass in art, craft and industry and it promotes collaboration between people who work with glass. Unique in Australia, the Festival joins a handful of similar events worldwide. The Festival of Glass is an initiative of the Drysdale, Clifton Springs Curlewis Association Inc.
