04/22/2013
Mary Wills won a Caldera and Bead Collar at Glass Craft & Bead Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mary lives in Jerome, Arizona, a town of 450 residents in the central mountains of Arizona. Once a copper mining town, Jerome is now known for its musicians and artists.
Mary owns Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes & Art Glass Gallery in Jerome. “The Nellie Bly is now the largest kaleidoscope gallery in the world,” said Mary. “My love of glass has grown out of my love of scopes. We have two kilns that we use for classes and for lampworked glass. Our new Caldera kiln will be the community kiln that we will use for classes and share with the five scope artists who live here.”
The crowd was transfixed waiting for the winner of the Caldera to be announced.
