Welcome to Bandit Glass
Located in Sequim Washington Eric Papineau produces individually beads 1 at a time using the method often refered to as Lampworking. Lampworking has been practiced since ancient times although now using torches rather than oil-fueled lamps.
Whether a jeweler or collector each bead is a unique piece of glass art.
Using borosilicate glass and soda lime glass all the beads and bead sets I create are literally one of a kind. Even when I do re-make a design I like, because of the nature of hand done work no 2 will be the same. For you as a designer you can be assured your jewelry designs will have no rival.
About Bandit Glass
Bandit glass is committed to offering the best product possible to the consumer. I started the company after an on the job injury prevented me from making a living as I had before. I was very lucky to meet Dennis Thompson who took me under his wing and show me how to work glass. My glass products are treated as individual works of art that can be put together with a persons own imagination to create their own expression of creativity. I also have hemp available for macrame jewelry made to order. Bandit Glass is a green company as much as possible. I work only local farmers markets in the area in an attempt to minimize environmental impact.
Having heard the question many times:
"there beautiful, but what do you do with them"
I have started making finished items which include bracelets, necklaces, chain pulls . Of course I still offer the beads and glasswork individually. Watch this web site as I include in these new offers
Questions and custom project gladly accepted
