Congrats!

To DMV artist Michael Janis, who is currently not only on the cover of Glass Art magazine, but it also has a very cool article about his work inside.

And as if that wasn't enough, also congrats to fellow Washington Glass School co-founder Erwin Timmers, possibly the DMV's first "green artist" (before we even knew what that was) and who also has a very cool article about working green in the same issue.
