About Me
Carole Griffiths brings a sense of fun to her work and has taught, encouraged and stimulated many students in her classes to create
“organic and original, unique and individual artwork”.
Carole’s passion is to create pieces that ‘make you look twice’.
Carole started her glass bead arts practice over 20 years ago. Her first studio was in the historic Gorman House Arts centre. Over the time she has taught hundreds of students the magic of molten glass.
When the Canberra Glassworks opened in 2007, she taught the glass bead program for over three years. She continues to teach at the Canberra Glassworks when they run the Sunday classes.
Griffiths travelled to America to study glass bead making in 2011.
