My name is JoAnne Huntley and I have been making and teaching various crafts for over 25 years..

Originally a lacemaker of the bobbin variety, I sidestepped into needle laces, played with papermaking and took a Visual Arts degree, before discovering the wonderful world of beads.

Now, as well as stitching and string beads together, I produce my own lampwork beads and fused glass cabuchons under the trade name of ArtisAnne.

I divide my time between teaching, beads and creating art, mainly installations relating to isolation or the body.
