Chriss O'Toole Bio & Gallery

Chriss O'Toole is a self-taught local artist who 'discovered' lampworking through her interest and participation in historic crafts. Her research has led her to re-create bead styles from Ancient and Medieval Europe and Asia, focusing on authenticity and accuracy, and to employ the use of historic methods and materials whenever possible.

She has recently broadened her focus to include a modern aesthetic in both her style and methods, and draws her inspiration from a variety of sources, including music, textiles and other media. Chriss is constantly exploring ways to 'play' with her materials, resulting in pieces that are both innovative and beautiful. Chriss' business, Calliope Beads, is based in Airdrie, AB.
