Gary Farlow can make art out of arteries. He and his team of 10 at Farlow's Scientific Glass-blowing are able to transform the body's vasculature-and nearly all of its other parts-into an ornate borosilicate glass sculpture, from the heart's ventricles to the brain's circle of Willis. "We do almost every part of the body," Farlow says. "It can take a pretty artistic mind to make some of these things." With the help of cardiologists, the team creates custom see-through systems for science and medical training.
