“Heather Trimlett is a highly respected teacher and flameworking artist. Her knowledge of glass beadmaking is extensive, shaped by over 30 years at the torch. Heather’s work approaches perfection and pushes the envelope in shape and form. Her beads are vibrant in their color and enthusiastic design just like she is, their color palette a crisp and clean mix of primary colors. Heather has packed classrooms in San Diego and across the U.S. and Canada since 1994. She is a natural instructor - encouraging, demonstrative and patient. It is the questions from her many students that make her study each and every move of her hands or the position of her glass in the flame while she is working.”
