Hot Glass Talk in a high tech world
Tink Martin is a creative force with an unsinkable spirit. Her bubbly nature belies the intense focus that motivates her technically driven work. Flameworking, electroforming and teaching are her personal passions.
And she's the only artist I know currently offering classes in making glass pens, which are fanciful, fun, and make great gifts. In this informative interview we discuss pens, her signature vessels (which can be used to hold the ashes of someone you loved), and the sacred trust between teacher and student. Have a listen!
