All About the Beads

Ali Perry is a lampworker and silversmith creating colourful, distinctive jewellery from her own handmade glass beads. Each bead is formed in the flame, with layered colours and intricate decoration, then combined with silver, gemstones and pearls.

With over a decade of experience, she regularly exhibits across the Midlands and is excited to be returning to Yorkshire this year. Her work continues to evolve, with collections inspired by seasonal colour palettes and the natural world. She is especially drawn to reactive glass, creating striking metallic and iridescent effects reminiscent of galaxies and natural phenomena.
