A fisherman at heart, Andy
spends much time on the beach
searching the sand on her hands
and knees for smooth beautiful
glass and stones to take home.
She says that each beach in
Jamaica has different stones
and glass, and favourite is Port
Royal, which she describes as
However, having the glass and stones sit in a bowl was not
enough for her. “I wanted to wear them, so I started making
jewelry,” she quips.
Andy does nothing to the glass and stones except drilling
a hole to push leather or metal through it. This stalwart
environmentalist insists on maintaining the integrity of the
seashore loot she finds. “You can literally pop it (a piece of
glass or a stone) in your mouth and taste the ocean,” she
announces proudly.

Tony Barton’s
Woodwork
Engineer GS Barton
(AKA Tony Barton),
became a designer
and a craftsman,
making functional and
decorative accessories
out of wood.
His repertoire includes
jewelry boxes, clocks,
salad bowls, chopping boards and cheese boards, and
educational toys for children.
Barton is truly an artist, working with the colour of the
grain, and using it like a palette.
With great skill, he carves the most intricate designs in
his larger pieces, such as mirrors, screens and cabinetry.
To conserve, he creates large items first, then uses
the smaller pieces for bangles and pendants.
Creating contemporary pieces allow him to “push the
boundaries and make a statement,” he says.
