By now quite a large community of glass bead makers has been formed on Aruba. In her jewelry design she incorporates various kinds of glass, also discarded glass.
She learned glass blowing at Urban Glass in New York and at Stipglas in the Netherlands and she focusing on making small ‘worlds’ in glass, behind the torch as well as in the glass blowing studio . Marian loves sharing her knowledge and experience in workshops, opening a new world to others as it was to her.
