Meet the artist behind the torch: Trisha McKendry...
Trisha was born in Italy. She studied art through high school and college. Today she is a proud mother, wife and glass artist.
Trisha began her adventure in glass several years ago while designing jewelry. She had discovered some beautiful handmade lampwork beads. Naturally she thought to herself, "Wow! I need to learn how to do this." With the aid of books from her local library and the mass of information on the internet she studied the art of glass bead making. With the knowledge of what she had read she taught herself how to make glass beads. From that first wonky bead she made she was hooked.
