Jenefer Ham is a dedicated lampwork glass artist whose work centres on the transformation of molten glass into finely crafted jewellery and sculptural art. Using traditional flameworking techniques, she melts rods of coloured glass in a high-temperature torch flame, shaping and layering the material by hand to create intricate beads, pendants, and miniature sculptures.

Lampworking is both a technical and expressive discipline. It demands precise temperature control, steady handwork, and an understanding of glass chemistry to achieve clarity, depth, and structural integrity. Jenefer’s pieces are carefully kiln-annealed after forming to relieve internal stress, ensuring durability as well as beauty.

Her jewellery often features rich colour palettes, delicate surface detailing, and dimensional depth created through techniques such as encasing, dot work, stringer decoration, and layered glass design. In her sculptural work, she explores form and movement in miniature — crafting animals, florals, and abstract compositions that highlight the luminous qualities of glass.

Every piece is individually handmade, meaning no two works are identical. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures that each item carries its own character and artistic signature. Through her work, Jenefer captures the balance between fragility and permanence — transforming molten glass into enduring pieces of wearable and collectible art.
