Wonderful interview Wes, Really enjoyed it, and thanks as usual John!

And yesssssssss, one of your sculptures with a marble, ooooh yeaaaah! Now you realize of course that we'll be wanting to see your bugs caring them around as well, especially those big stag beetles and other big boys like that, ha haa.

Thanks....Brian

Wes and John - this was a great interview!

Wes, I can so relate to your studies in Italy and how life changing it is. I was able to do a sabbatical of music studies for just over 6 weeks many years ago. I took harp lessons in Milan with Mara Galassi and lived in Bologna where I took organ lessons and harpsichord lessons. I was living in the apartment of my harpsichord teacher while he was on tour and he only appeared once in a...

Wes the insects are very realistic, and you nailed the white in your pictures. Fantastic job! Of course my roll is to ask you if you can put these marvelous bugs into a marble? Thanks for taking the time to do the interview. CraiG

Very interesting! It's always fascinating to me to hear about the series of events that lead an artist to what they are creating today. I can't say that I'm a big fan of most insects (irrational fears and all that), but I think your work is terrific! I can't imagine having a hand steady enough to create things so delicate. Thanks for sharing with us.

I hope that everyone will join me in welcoming a relatively new member of the Glass Addiction forum, Wes Fleming. Wes's work is a great example in the diversity of glass art and the beauty that can created around ordinary, even slighty "creepy creatures". Please read the interview, enjoy Wes's work and photographs and feel free to ask any follow up questions that you might have for him. Thanks again Wes for participating in the Glass...
