Studio Demonstrations: Suellen Fowler

[@developmentpossibilities3591]

I wish we could buy some of the amazing glass compositions she has created... Suellen is a pillar and I'm so grateful for her contribution to glass.

Got the chance to visit her booth at the Palo Alto show and bought a marble. Amazing - even better in person to see the lamps, figures, marbles, etc.

Wow - is there a photo of the finished product? Suellen's work is incredible.

Excellent demo! Bravo Suellen! :)

Oh gosh, I wish she lived closer to me or I, her. Alas, I live in Minnesota I think she'd be a fabulous mentor! I've been eye-guzzling everything I can find with her name on it!

I have a Suellen Fowler marble that has been in a drawer for more than twenty years. How do I find out what the design is called and much are they worth now please?

[@psyborg303]

ive never tried raking through mai tai pink like that

[@richardjones4080]

how do you stop the heat traveling up the rod please forgive me if its a stupid question

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi Richard Jones not a stupid question at all! The answer is that glass is a very poor conductor of heat, so, it simply won't conduct it out to the flameworker’s hands.

[@richardjones4080]

what about the metal rod as we know metals or most anyway conduct heat

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Richard Jones If using a metal rod, it would most likely be steel which does not heat up as fast, or glassmakers might use a tungsten pick with a handle on it to protect them from heat. When using a tool in the flame, glassmakers don't leave it in the flame long enough to get hot enough to burn.
