Description:
The Flow Magazine Vol. 3, Issue 2 is a printed magazine issue covering a mix of artistic and scientific lampworking topics. Based on the ABR Imagery listing, subjects in this issue include neon plasmatics and trapping glowing noble gases of argon and neon in three dimensional figures, interviews with Andrew Brown and Troy Bennett, a feature on the Art Glass Invitational honoring flameworker Lewis C. Wilson, and an article on a large-scale borosilicate rendition of Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby by Craig Colquhoun. The issue also includes instructional tutorial content that is archived on The Flow’s website and explicitly marked as originally published in Volume 3 Issue 2, including Jacqueline Rice’s tutorial on making a vessel on a mandrel and Mark Lammi’s tutorial on making sculptural perfume bottles and stoppers with sculptured tops. This issue is useful when you want technique-focused reading that crosses over between studio flameworking, functional form building, and scientific glass themes.
How it is used:
- Use Jacqueline Rice’s A Vessel Made on a Mandrel tutorial to practice building miniature vessels directly on a mandrel, then decorate them using color stringers as shown in the project overview
- Use Mark Lammi’s Sculptural Perfume Bottle tutorial to learn a straightforward approach to making perfume bottles and matching stoppers, with added sculptural tops for visual interest and a more finished presentation
