Editor's Letter

by Andrew Page

Who would try to coax molten glass into meaninglful form? It's technically unforgiving. The high temperatures are dangerous. But the biggest challenge may be a legacy that stretches back to Ancient Egypt. How to create something worthy of attention when it will be measured against so many historical high water marks? Add it all up and it's amazing anyone sets foot in the hot shop.
