BIOLiz began beading at the tender age of 6 with her
Girl Scout troop. After dabbling in costume design at Ohio University
Liz finally began her professional bead career in 2001 when she started
working at Byzantium in Columbus, Ohio. In 2004 she packed her beads and
her dog and moved to Seattle, WA. Since moving to the west coast she
has continued her professional bead addiction working and teaching in
bead stores around the Seattle area. Liz’s love of all things beaded
soon transformed into a love of all things wire and most of all mixing
fire and metal. 2008 marked Liz’s debut on the national teaching scene
and the publication of her first book Jewelry Studio: Silver Wire Fusing from Interweave Press.
