Hello, my name is Carole from Carole’s Island Creations – unique handcrafted glass jewellery.
I work as a nurse but have been crafting glass since 2008. I am very grateful to my Friend and Art Glass Teacher Rosie B.
I work with dichroic, bullseye and spectrum art glass which is kiln fired using a fusing process to produce beautiful rainbows of colour that I craft into pieces of jewellery.
I live on the beautiful island of Tasmania in Hobart Australia.
The Hobart Artists Market at the cruise-ship terminal is my main retail outlet and has been since its inception 8 years ago.
I have also retailed at Salamanca Market (a very famous tourist attraction in Hobart southern Tasmania) for a duration of 10 years; at Agfest in Carrick in Northern Tasmania; and the Deloraine Arts and Craft Fair in north-eastern Tasmania.
Dragonflies and irises are my two most favourited things. Their shapes, translucent colours, and beauty influence my creations and they even form part of my logo.
Millie is my assistant. She is a very lovable, eccentric, unique Birman cat.
Harley is my loving Husband and Soulmate who endures all the trials and tribulations of running a small business at home. Remnants of my glass jewellery in various stages of their creation are found in most spaces of our home. I could not do this work without his constant encouragement as well as his physical attendance at markets assisting me. He is the sales and logistics team.
