This unique experimental series started a few years back conceptually, in the beginning days of KBglassworks.. We were set up at a local craft show in Edgewood, New Mexico.The woman next to us told us of her father who happened to be the retired head scientist/lampworker from Los Alamos National Laboratories. .
