Dear Readers,
We are happy to once again present our "Women in Glass" issue filled with the work of loads of talented female artists. This year, the gallery alone gives you insights into the world of 124 sculptural and bead artists who work in everything from florals, geometrics, and nature to tempting edibles, liturgical symbols, and fantasy art. These themes are endless and come from the unlimited imaginations of our creative ladies who reside the world over.
I hope that in the new year you will find the time and resources to get involved in some workshops presented by artists who are wiling to share what they have learned along the way. If traveling isn't possible, why not take advantage of a great opportunity from our sister publication, Glass Patterns Quarterly, through Glass Expert Webinars™ to learn tips and tricks that guarantee success in your own glass art without leaving home. These live, interactive Web workshops feature renowned glass artists who demonstrate their signature techniques and allow participants to ask questions via live chat. For more details, visit www.GlassPatterns.com and click on "Glass Expert Webinars" under "What's New."
As always . . . Keep your light shining and your torches lit!
Jennifer Menzies

Glasscraft Emerging Artist Award
Winter 2012
Demetra began to create glass beads as a hobby but found that her ideas and sketches needed to be translated on a larger scale. During a lampworking apprenticeship, she was introduced to borosilicate glass, a material well suited to creating glass sculpture behind the torch. In 2007, she switched her focus from beadmaking to lampworked glass sculpture and is self-taught in the techniques needed to create her signature nests, flowers, and branches.
Glass captivates Astrid as she brings this otherwise solid state into a fluid motion and creates from her own imagination a new shape, with designs and colors that are captured forever when the glass returns to its state of rest again. She particularly loves to have lots of depth, layers, and textures in her beads so that viewers are drawn deeper into the bead to discover new things not so obvious at first glance. Her hollow bead technique puts the designs on the inside of the bead, thus opening up a world of new possibilities for her, which she shares with others through her tutorials.

Design by Debbie Tarsitano
In 2000 I began experimenting using canes to express ideas. The pieces I created using canes are few and haven't been seen by many people. I developed extremely complex designs using canes as the main element to dene a subject.

The Flow Winter 2012
8th Annual Gallery of Women in Glass
The Winter 2012 issue of The Flow is filled with wonderful examples of the glass art that comes from the imaginations of female glass artists the world over. This issue's gallery presents the work of 124 ladies that cover beads and sculptural art with a multitude of themes including nature, florals, geometric designs, liturgical symbols, fantasy art, and everything in between. Edith Franklin shares her experiences as one of the students in Harvey Littleton's famous "Toledo Workshop" class that is considered to be the beginning of the American Studio Glass movement, and a look at the sculptural work of Laurel Marie Hagner demonstrates how hot glass sculptural artists can become involved in creating architectural applications. Three great tutorials for preparing reactive cane, creating sea pod beads, and building some "froggy friends" round out this exciting issue.
