Hi! My name is Jan Lipensky. I am a self-taught glass artist and I live in Annville, PA, and Bishopville, Md. with my husband and chihuahua, Bebe. I began crafting beaded bracelets about a decade ago and would incorporate a small green crystal into each bracelet to signify that it was mine! Thus, the name, Green Bead Glass! I wanted to step up my design from just beads so I began researching fused glass on the internet. One thing led to another and now I create using three kilns in a large workshop.
