Thanks for the names. I will get the list updated. I have a few other short lists to cross-reference. Won't be surprised if that turns up more names.
Plus, I have a couple of names I've been aware of for awhile but on the fence about. One person works with sorta weird glass, one with ceramics. I've included other orb-makers in non-glass media but it seems like they need to be nominated for membership in the club and aren't automatically recognized. you know? I don't know enough about contemps to know if they were excluded on purpose, and if others feel it would be wrong to have them in the same list.
The two on my bench:
Laura Berretti of marbled clay fame.
And Jeffrey Grey, maker of "fiberagates"
hmmmm , , , decided to include JG but still mulling over LB. Having trouble getting an edit window at GA, so have time to mull.
