I first met Lilian when I signed up for one of her classes at the Pasadena Bead & Design Show over a year ago. Lilian taught interesting wire design and innovative cold connection techniques. I was transfixed and ended up taking a few additional private lessons from her as well. In the process, we became friends and supporters of each other’s work.
Lilian makes such gorgeous pieces but she doesn’t sell any of it! Seems funny to me, but Lilian much prefers to teach than to sell what she makes. She teaches at several bead stores in the Southern California area including You & Me Findings, Aubrey’s Beads and Bead Source, but her goal has been to be accepted as an instructor at the major trade shows and she made a huge step in that direction this past week when she learned that she was accepted as a Swarovski instructor at The Tucson Bead Show under their CREATE YOUR STYLE IN TUCSON 2009 program and she will be teaching four classes at the Bead&Button Show .
My hat is off to Lilian! Much more success is surely coming for this remarkable talent.
Thanks for stopping by!
