Hi, I'm Paula Leigh Beaton and I am a glass & polymer clay artist & jewellery designer.

I've always loved anything artistic and creative, enjoying arts and crafts as a child, rummaging through my mum's giant box of buttons and marvelling at the textures and colours.  Marbles and paperweights have always held a fascination for me, the sheer swirls of colour encased in glass have encouraged me to experiment with working with this amazing medium.
 
I began making jewellery more seriously in 2007 and experimenting with various other materials has quickly become an obsession - there is just so much out there.  I enjoy experimenting with a range of other materials including art clay silver, polymer clay, resin, glass and found objects, and am always on the lookout for new courses to further my knowledge.

I hope that some of this passion comes across in the styles of my beads and jewellery and that you will enjoy exploring my beady world!
