From the time when Lorie was a small child she collected beach glass every chance she
could. Putting her found treasures from the beach in her shoe for safe keeping. (No
pockets in bathing suits.) This intrigue for beach glass still holds true today though she
doesn't put it in her shoe anymore. Lorie turns her beach glass treasures into beautiful
pieces of jewelry. The lure of collecting the glass continues on in the creative process of
finding the right look & style for each piece. Her husband, Troy, has also developed a
passion for working with beach glass. Both of them received Silver Smith training in
Columbus, Ohio from the
Cultural Arts Center. Here
they delved into the craft of
creating with Silver to help
accent the beach glass. For
them it is a non-stop journey
to develop and create new
styles of jewelry that
showcase the beach glass.

However Beaches is not only
Lorie and Troy. There are
many others who make this
possible. Family and friends
help in a variety of ways from
collecting the glass, working the store, sorting the glass, drilling glass to assisting with
paperwork and not to mention their love and support.
