Welcome to the Saint Louis Lampworkers Society! The SLLS is dedicated
to the art of lampworking; making glass beads in an open flame. The Society
provides resources and educational forums for those in the region interested
in learning more about lampworked beads.
About the SLLS
Beginning in 1999, a small group of St. Louis glass beadmakers met in what
became the foundation of the Saint Louis Lampworkers Society. With the goal
of sharing knowledge, ideas and resources, the group formally organized
in 2002. Meeting schedules, demonstrations and art shows were the main topics
of discussion in those formative meetings. By March 2003, the SLLS had 37
members and an organized approach to an annual bead show with sponsorship
from two of the local bead stores that cater to lampwork artists. Today,
the SLLS continues to support the founding ideals of increasing awareness
of the art, sharing resources and providing a forum for local lampwork artists
to share their experiences and knowledge.
