In their studio, located in rural East Texas, they flamework one of a kind marbles and vessels. Wil began his glass career 6 years ago under the guidance of Bob and Marie Snodgrass in Oregon. He then moved to Seattle, where he ran his first production studio until moving back to Texas in 2000. Jennifer and Wil also publish the premier flameworking journal, The Flow. None of this would be possible without the help of their two beautiful children, Trey and Alexandra.

Josh,

First, I am 2800 years young. Originator of the wrap and rake. I was Bob's apprentice over 30 years ago, before Bob started blowing glass. Wow, how time flies. I thought we did that class around 25 years ago.

Seriously, started at Bob's in 1998, then to Seattle in 99, working as a furnace tech during the day and lampworking by night. That is an old bio that I need to update.The class will be loads of fun, with several new techniques with opals and dichroic that I have been working on. I can't wait to see Ross's new place.

Come on out and let's have a party. Wreck Ross's new shop. Cody and Dave will love it.

Respect,

"boxfan" Wil Menzies
