Lauri started off knitting one-of-a-kind small garments, hats, gloves, and scarves. In 1999, she started glass beadmaking. Her glass obsession has grown rapidly, and it is now the base of all of her production. She is currently teaching borosilicate bead making throughout the country, as well as participating in national bead shows. Her writtings has been published in a number of magazines and journals.
The DVD covers both soft glass and boro, and a variety of techniques.
