Pearly Karpel Email & Phone Number

l was born and raised in Israel, married with 3 wonderful children, and living in Kefar Saba. Having a degree in Chemical Engineering, I started working in Israel and Switzerland in the pharmaceutical industry, and later on crossed to Hi-Tech and software engineering for more than 15 years. Since I was a small girl, and during all this time I have always involved myself in the arts and crafts (wood drawing, soaps, clay sculpturing etc.) immersing in vivid colors and styles. I have been designing glass beads by the Lampwork method for more than 8 years. Although I ran across this field by coincidence, it immediately became love at first sight. Following a basic workshop, where I was first introduced to the glass beads, I was fascinated by the endless possibilities this art allows. Glass is the most versatile substance, enabling limitless variations of color, texture and shape. During the last couple of years, I have been specializing among the highest professionals in the Lampwork field, such as James Minson and Micheala Muller. I have developed unique techniques and designs, selling my works around the world and mentoring new generations of glass beads designers.
