Beach glass from Bitz of the Beach
I was recently at a special education conference in Anchorage (in my spare time, I’m an occupational therapist in the school system—oh wait—that’s my real job…jewelry is in my spare time…I forgot)
Well, anyway, at this conference I met Casey Wade Bitz who, along with his family, collects beach glass in southeast Alaska. I love beach glass and immediately had to buy a small bag of it. Here is a pendant that I made from one of the pieces.

i am Casey Bitz’ sister n law and last summer i dove in and made a pretty good attempt to create some charms of my own with his beach glass. I must say that your work is impressive. I am thinking of attempting it again this summer and i was searching for some new ideas when i stumbled on your website. I am glad to see that Casey’s work is being showed off and appreciated.

I’m glad you like the work! I’d like to get more pieces from him sometime.
Thanks for writing
