FLOW-FALL-2023
Description:
The Flow Magazine Fall 2023 issue is a print magazine focused on flameworking and lampworking, featuring technique-driven educational content and artist instruction. This issue includes a sculptural tutorial titled Drinking Vessel with Dot Stack Marble Inclusion, with text and demonstration by Steve Vaught and Geoff Madeley and photos by Iain Alexander. The tutorial covers building a tall cup with a heavy base by combining dot stack marble work with encalmo sections, then assembling the components into a finished drinking vessel.
How it is used:
- Use the tutorial as a bench-side reference for planning a multi-step hollow build that combines decorative marble work with vessel construction.
- Follow the dot stack section to build and shape a flattened marble component intended to be incorporated into a larger form.
- Follow the encalmo section to create and join separate hollow sections, then assemble them into a tall cup with a heavier base for stability.
- Apply the workflow concepts to other functional hollow forms where you want clean section transitions, controlled wall thickness, and decorative inclusions.
