Behind the Scenes, April 2018

Behind the Scenes is a close up look at the life of a working artist, and what Jodi is up to on any given day.

Lots of shenanigans in the Glass With a Past studio lately! I started the year with a bang, teaching an online Mold Making II for Glass Artists class where we made a lost wax cast fish from start to finish.
