The self-described "polarizing" 58-year-old 30-year glass-blowing veteran knew that viewers would either consider her a villain or heroine. "I expected there to be a backlash to my claiming my space as a woman in the hot shop and my feminist approach to glass, and I knew that the moment you go up against the straight, white, cis culture, you’re going to get backlash for it, because that’s the status quo," she says. "So I expected there’d be lovers and haters, honestly. That’s been my life." ALSO: Blown Away offers "fiery pleasures."
