Description:
The Flow Magazine (Spring 2016) is a print issue of The Flow focused on a nature theme. It’s a technique-and-inspiration magazine for flameworkers that blends artist features with step-by-step projects, making it useful when you want fresh build ideas, new construction approaches, and design direction you can take straight to the torch. ABR notes this Spring edition is dedicated to nature. On The Flow’s site, the editor’s letter for this issue highlights the nature-themed tutorials and articles included, and one of the featured tutorials available online from this issue is Jimi’s Kraken Sherlock Pipe, which demonstrates building an octopus sculpture and forming hollow components to an even wall thickness before assembly.
How it is used:
- Read through the issue to plan your next bench session, then translate the project steps into your own material choices, color palette, and tooling.
- Use the nature theme as a prompt for sculptural work, surface detailing, and composition choices that feel organic rather than purely geometric.
- Follow the Kraken Sherlock Pipe approach as a skill-builder for sculptural assembly: practice adding raised details for texture, shaping multiple appendages, and joining hollow sections while keeping wall thickness consistent.
