Jennifer Menzies, editor of The Flow, reminds us of the wonderful flameworking possibilities that come from the imaginations of female glass artists the world over. This issue’s gallery presents the bead and sculptural work of 124 ladies who cover a multitude of themes. An interview with Edith Franklin, who was present at Harvey Littleton’s famous “Toledo Workshop” class, and a look at the sculptural work of Laurel Marie Hagner demonstrate the impact of female artists. Three great tutorials, including techniques for creating amphibians and reptiles from award-winning artist, Jennifer Umphress, round out this exciting issue.
