Welcome to WinterGlas

Handcrafted Glass Jewelry
by John Winter

Handcrafted lampwork glass beads and jewelry made from them became my passion after an apprenticeship with famed glassblower Robert Hamon whetted my appetite for this most seductive of media. Previously a photographer, both media have light in common, but this light I can mold.

"Glass is magic. Playing with liquid light at 2000 degrees involves all the senses."
