ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ellen enjoys designing and creating a variety of jewelry. Her wire designs are unique and no two are exactly alike. Her creations include gem stones, glass beads, cameos, dichroic glass, and semiprecious stones. gold filled wire.

Ellen Glynn has been artistically inclined for many years, having been involved in stained glass since 1981 as a hobby. She became interested in wirecraft during a workshop held by Glass Crafters in N.J.  There she learned to use a kiln for glass fusing and basic wire wrapping techniques taught by John Smith and Linda Abbott.  That was the beginning of her addiction to creating wire sculpted jewelry.

She has continued her learning skills in wire sculpture from the video workshop for professional wire workers , by
Preston J. Reuther, Master Wire Sculptor, and from a beautifully illustrated monthly magazine, The Wire Artist Jeweller.

Ellen graduated from Nursing School in 1970 and  continues to work part time in the health field. After doing her first craft show, she realized that there was alot of interest in her jewelry designs and she began to concentrate more towards a wire artist career.

Ellen has been featured in Wire Artist Jeweller Magazine , the wire worker newsletter and The Wareham Courier. She has been a featured guest on BNN-TV It's All About Arts in 2002. She most recently has been selected to be published in a new book called The Artisan Craft and will be available in 2007.

Many of her designs include handcrafted glass beads and cabochons by some of the finest glass artists in the U.S. Each piece is wire wrapped in sterling silver or 14K gold filled wire.  Ellen's wire designs are unique and no two are exactly alike. Her jewelry can now be found in many gift and craft shops as well as on the internet. Ellen's jewelry can been seen on Juried Online Arts Festival, Your online Gallery, and Electronic Cottage Online Gallery.
