About the Maker(s)

Ralph McCaskey Ralph McCaskey [
Ralph is a glass beadmaker who can usually be found hunched over his torch in his subterranean studio deep beneath Downtown California. Some of the odd and wonderous denizens that populate the studio's dimly-lit grottoes and passageways find themselves expressed in Ralph's glasswork. Others crawl directly out of the dark recesses of his fevered imagination. He's a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers.
