Boyce Lundstrom,
The Legacy
Boyce Lundstrom (1944-2012) was the innnovator of compatible glass, which allows for a wide spectrum of colors with consistent expansion coefficients--and was the foundation for the now-thriving glass-fusing community. He wrote the three-part bible on slumping and fusing, and many of his students and protégées have gone on to receive worldwide acclaim for their work in fused-glass. We continue to be surrounded by his legacy and steeped in his wisdom.
