Many probably don't consider steel blow pipes and temperatures over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit a "good time," but glass artist Richard Satava has been doing it in Chico for the past 30 years.

CatBytes is a bi-annual magazine created by students in the Department of Journalism's Internet Newspaper and Magazine course.
