Thank you so much for the congrats! It was so much fun doing the interview because there just seems to be so much to share about what we're all doing! The reporter was just so astonished with fused glass and other good things we can do with a kiln of any size, especially watching me do the Vitri-Graph technique!
Thanks again. By the way, I'm enjoying a fun-filled week of Avery and Brock at Northwest Art Glass!

Licha I am glad you got the exposure and looked great but the quote that "Blown Glass Has Had Its Day " I find that disconcerting. Remarks like that surely do not enamour us to blowers, and how will GAS feel as we try to join forces?

Whatever achievement or growth that kiln formed glass enjoys should be on its own merits not by declaring another form of glass expression as on the downhill slide. IMHO blown glass has many more days ahead of it and a walk at the Rosen show, or any preeminant gallery will show that.

Let us promote our style and manner of expression in a positive and unique way...just like our glass.

BTW Licha I know it wasn't your words and while it makes great copy it still made me cringe.
