What was he thinking when he created that? How does she paint with beeswax? What is the path to becoming a glassmaker? However helpful docents, curators, and gallery owners can be, some questions can only be answered by the artists themselves. That’s where Boise Open Studio Collective Organization (BOSCO) comes in.
