I first met Suellen Fowler at the Glass Art Society Conference in Tampa, years ago. We were sent out into the streets to procure pizza for the hungering masses at a demo. Even though it was early afternoon, it seemed that downtown Tampa was closed for the weekend, and finding an open pizza parlor was about as easy as flying to the moon. In the two hour search that ensued, we began a fast friendship that continues to this day. We hardly ever eat pizza together anymore, definitely preferring pancakes, red wine, or sushi....of course not at the same time!!! But it was that fateful day that brought us together, and began the brainstorming for her video, “Flamework: An Intimate Art”, which I had the pleasure and privilege of producing. This tutorial, which gives you a bit of her history, as well as the instructions for creating a spinning top, is an excerpt from that project. Have fun.....And if you want to, Buy the Video!
