About Us
Welcome to Beyond Beadz. My name is Linda Larson, owner of Beyond Beadz. I am a entrepreneur,mother, artist, wife, daughter, daughter in law, sister in law, aunt, volunteer, and girlfriend.
I became interested in glass more than 25 years ago. Beginning with stained glass. Glass of all kinds was always of interest to me. My family always encouraged my interest in glass and jewelry.
I had always' wanted to try working with glass in it's molten state... This began my lampworking beads,and kiln use.
With the purchase of my kiln, came more interest in what I could do with the glass. Working with the hot glass was an amazing experience for me. I had finally found my "niche" in glass-FUSING. Each day bring's newly created treasure's, with the opening of the kiln. I hope you can find your treasure in glass
Linda shares her home in Longwood, Florida with her husband, her two daughter's and her dog Toby..
In my spare time, OK- for the past 8 years, I work with the Lake Brantley Rowing Assoication. A 501 non profit High School, and middle school rowing program. Lake Brantley is a strong competitive team in the State of Florida. Having a daughter that rowed throughout high school, and a short time of adult rowing for myself, brought about a true love of this sport for me. And a committment from me to continue with this wonderful program.
