Stephen Boehme can’t discuss his vast understanding of art, education, or glassworking technique without giving credit to those who contributed to that knowledge along the way. A beginning bead making class with Jodie McDougall helped Stephen discover glass murrine, and talks with Jason Lee led him to begin creating his phenomenal Franchini style art with borosilicate glass.
