Sue Underwood In Person Workshop “SPRINGS” Necklace and Earrings plus Trunk Show

April 27 Sat @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Susan (Sue) Underwood has been a lamp worker (glass bead maker) and a Jewelry Designer for over 35 years: “Glass is an expression of my thoughts and ideas – I love the colors, shapes, textures and patterns that can be formed. My love for nature and the Southwest has inspired me to create these little “glass treasures”.

I love creating from the world around me: inspiration from a color combination, a flower from my garden, or an acorn that fell from a tree – all inspire me to create my art. You can find my current work at on Etsy, Bead Life (Facebook group), Instagram, and local galleries: Handworks Gallery, Acton Ma and Kitchen Sink Candles, Bolton and Groton MA. I am also on the following platforms:
