This one’s for the lampworkers out there. The freshest newsletter from The Flow magazine has just arrived in my email box and that really makes me smile. It gives me a chance to see what the other lampworkers are doing out there. They also have information listed on upcoming issues and contribution deadlines in case you want to submit something to the magazine. Then if you wander over to their web site you can see tutorials that are available as well as upcoming shows and events. All good!
