Description:
The Flow Magazine Winter 2018 is a printed, full-color magazine issue focused on flameworking and lampworking, produced as a studio reference with technique articles, process photography, and artist-driven projects you can bring straight to the torch. Tutorials confirmed from The Flow website as being published in the Winter 2018 issue include Nykki Knight’s Husky Dog Face Pendants and Susan P. Hanson’s Clio Magic.
How it is used:
- Nykki Knight Husky Dog Face Pendants
- Use black and white rod to build the base face structure, then refine symmetry and expression by placing facial features with controlled stringer work.
- Practice clean line placement and heat control by using cobalt blue, black, and white stringers for the nose and mouth details without smearing or over-rounding the design.
- Build a durable hanging point by forming the bail from clear rod, focusing on smooth transitions so the pendant hangs straight and resists stress at the loop.
- Susan P. Hanson Clio Magic
- Start with a clear base bead and use a bead roller to establish consistent shape, which is critical when you want repeatable results across a set.
- Add orange Clio glass as an accent layer, then encase with clear to explore how color intensity and depth change under encasement.
- Use gold stone stringer to add swirls, practicing surface decoration timing so the stringer stays crisp and does not sink too deep during final heat polishing.
