Tank Jewelry and Beads: Jill Cribbin

Jill Cribbin of Tank Jewelry and Beads launched herself into the world of glass flame working over ten years ago at an intensive workshop at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY. Since then she has studied with numerous recognized bead makers and jewelry designers.

Jill created one of the only open to the public flame working studios with a retail shop in Canada. The experience allowed visitors to see first-hand how many of the pieces were made.

After having established her career in Toronto, Jill currently continues to practice her craft from her studio in Stratford, Ontario.

Jill finds inspiration from urban shapes and forms, with a nod to the timeless work of Venetian glass artists. Jill focuses on creating modern wearable jewelry that allows the colour of the glass to be the star.

All glass jewelry created with glass rods and accented with sterling silver pieces.  All beaded pieces designed with the highest quality Japanese seed beads.

Using a propane and oxygen-run torch, glass rods melted and manipulated in the flame where individual beads made with the aid of heat, gravity and creativity! Finished beads paired with sterling silver findings to create contemporary, wearable jewelry.
