Boro Spinning Top made by Suellen Fowler, the Color Queen!

Suellen Fowler is the color queen of the borosilicate world! Many of her formulas were the basis for Northstar glass colors back in the 80's. In this tutorial, an excerpt from "Flamework: An Intimate Art", she shows you how to make a spinning top with her characteristic hobnail pattern. Background voices: Robert Mickelsen, Paul Trautman, and Marcie Davis.
