It’s safe to say that Kate Drew-Wilkinson has immersed herself in the making, selling and teaching of glass and glass beads. She says she is “crazy” about her work, so much so that she has a gallery that has only her work on display. Drew-Wilkinson says she has dabbled in many areas of the glass world — glass beads, jewelry and even pen and ink drawings. She has spent most of her 25 year career making and selling jewelry, and these days she’s mostly experimenting with glass beads made from stained glass scrap. She was attracted to the material for its vast color variety. Drew-Wilkinson has taught countless workshops in the U.S. and abroad; she’s written many how-to articles in Lapidary Journal, she's written a few how-to books and even produced several videos.
