 Dear Readers,
When you are going with The Flow, you are coming along with us on a glass ride. You are beginning to see our T-shirts don the artists' backs, but you are also seeing The Flow and our staff at almost every major glass event in the country. The Flow now offers subscriptions in paper or CD format. After our 8th year in publication, we have been able to bring you some of our best tutorials that have been shared with The Flow readers selected from our archives in Beads & Jewelry 1 & 2, Sculptural 1 & 2, Marbles, and Advanced Techniques. On our CDs you'll find a collection of Projects in PDF format. All of the Tutorials and Articles are by and about leading glass artists and industry experts. The CDs also include Women in Glass, Emerging Artists, and a Canadian Gallery. At this time The Flow can also say we host the largest Calendar of Events in the industry. When you subcribe to The Flow, you are supporting the glass arts. Keep it hot,
Go with The Flow
