Peri Hogrebe is the founder and owner of After Hours Artistry. I have been making glass beads and jewelry since 2007. My glass fascination starting on a trip to Italy over 15 years ago and I fell in love with everything glass there. Then one fateful weekend, while visiting a craft show, I met a lampworker who had a booth.

My first reaction was, "Wow, I could actually learn how to make these beautiful beads". After some research I found some lampwork classes and within three months I had taken a beginner lampwork class. I knew immediately this would be my passion for life and from there my journey began.

Since I worked full-time and had three children, the only time I could find for my bead artistry was after work when everyone at home was taken care and in bed, thus my business name was born "After Hours Artistry".

In the future, I hope to continue to expand and incorporate different mediums into the jewelry designs which are offered.
