Necklaces

These porcelain beads are formed on a press. Each bead is painted by hand, and then fired to maturity. They are all luster glazed. Barbara Briggs does all the work on the porcelain beads. Barbara's artistic background was as a textile designer and colorist. This is quite apparent with the rich combinations of colors in her necklaces.
