Description:
The Flow Magazine Volume 3 Issue 3 is a print magazine focused on flameworking and lampworking techniques, artist features, and practical shop knowledge. This issue includes an interview with Lucio Bubacco and a step-by-step goblet-making tutorial focused on building and attaching the stem to a goblet cup. It also includes technique-driven articles covering seashell form construction, alternative settings for glass bead jewelry, and tips for sandblasting and painting glass, making it useful both as a learning reference and as a project-planning resource at the bench.
How it is used:
- Use the Lucio Bubacco interview as a reference for design approach, tool choices, and workflow habits you can adapt to your own studio practice.
- Follow the goblet stem tutorial to practice heat control, alignment, and clean joins when connecting a stem to a goblet cup, with a focus on building stable stemware components.
- Apply the seashell-form tutorial concepts to improve controlled shaping, symmetry, and surface definition in sculptural lampworking.
- Use the alternative jewelry settings article to plan how finished beads can be mounted and presented, helping you design beads with final wearability in mind.
- Use the sandblasting and painting tips to improve coldworking and surface-finishing outcomes on beads and small sculptural work, especially for matte texture, contrast, and graphic detail.
