This is my final “President’s Letter,” and
I must say, I have enjoyed the discourse via
this column. It has been a great pleasure to
serve you all and to meet or work with many
of you through my eight years on the Board.
Admittedly, to volunteer as a GAS Board
member requires lots of time. But, I have no
regrets in the least, as the experience has
been invaluable and rewarding on many
levels. Thank you!
For this letter, I thought it might be
appropriate to collaborate with incoming
president Shane Fero. We decided to focus
on my reflections of the recent past and
his projections for the future of GAS using
a question and answer format.
Shane: In what ways has GAS
changed during the eight years
you have been on the Board?
Anna: My term on the Board
has spanned the advent of
three non-US conference
venues. Consequently, I have
experienced tremendous
growth in the organization
through its increased international scope and presence
and an approximate 30% hike
Shane Fero
in its membership since 1997.
The glass arena’s mentality has shifted
from one that has been somewhat fixed
on “media,” to one that includes more
investigative modes of thinking and the
notion of material appropriateness. Due
to advances in the field, there has been an
increased call for GAS to focus more on the
technical concerns of its members and to
embrace greater interests in flameworking,
kiln-forming, and casting.
Shane: What problems and goals did you feel
needed to be focused on during your tenure?
Anna: I think the greatest challenges the
organization has faced during the past
several years were those related to our
global mission and the financial leaps-offaith that that pursuit has entailed.
GAS NEWS is published
six times per year as a benefit
to members.

Shane: What do you feel were the major
contributions you made to GAS while serving
as president?
Anna Boothe with Paul Stankard
Anna: I feel that a number of specific strides
were made while I was a Board member
and then president. However, I attribute all
that was accomplished to the collaborative
workings of the Board
and the staff in
conjunction with member feedback. Internally,
I remapped the approach
to the Board selection
process to make it reflect
the broader demographic
needs of our constituents
and worked hard to better define the student
representative position
and role of the student
liaisons to increase the
strength of our educational component.
And, in order to better serve a larger membership and the venues that are capable of
accommodating our group, I pushed for the
confirmation of conference sites four years
into the future. As a result of the Board’s
recent long-range planning meeting, we
reaffirmed GAS’ intentions to increase accessibility to its international membership, to
grow the spokes of its base, and to expand
outreach through added regional events.
Shane: How would you define the legacy that
you and your predecessors hand down to me?
Anna: I am humbled and proud to have
taken part in GAS’ presidential legacy. In its
current state, the organization is financially
solvent with a slate of upcoming conference
venues that promise to augment this status.
GAS is committed to branching in directions
dictated by the technical and “visioned”
growth of the medium and to listening to its
constituents’ interests. The society is guided
by a diverse and talented Board that works
closely with an extraordinary staff.
Shane: What final statement would you like
to make to the membership before you pass
the gauntlet?
Anna: I would like to extend my gratitude
for being given the opportunity to serve
the GAS community and for being afforded
the privilege of working with and meeting
such dedicated and inspiring people. Even
though I had no personal sub-agenda when
I accepted this position; personally, I have
learned more than I ever could have anticipated and have grown in myriad ways. In
closing, I would encourage all GAS members
to continue to assert their influence and
propel their organization through sustained
involvement. As a “civilian” glass artist and
educator, I certainly plan to do the same!
Anna: Why did you join gas initially? How has
GAS been instrumental in your career and art?
Shane: My friend and colleague, Fred
Birkhill convinced my wife and I to attend
the GAS conference in Seattle,“Pacific Lip
Wrap” in 1990. Although I was somewhat
connected to the ‘glass world’, I had little
idea that this larger world existed. Ginny
Ruffner was the president that year, and
gave an amazing lecture. Dale Chihuly had
the audience vote on whether to continue
his ‘Venetian Series’. I met the Libensky’s
and all kinds of people at a party at Paul
Marioni’s building. I began many career
connections that year and I’ve never
questioned why I belong to GAS since!

Congratulations Graduating Seniors!
The glass seniors of the University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, just had their BFA thesis show titled “internal
external”. The four seniors are Robert Green, Jennifer
Halvorson, Melanie Kang, and Kimberly Skukas. Also,
our very own student rep, Shara Burrows had her MFA
thesis exhibition at RIT, entitled “anxious care” (don’t these
kids use capital letters anymore?) Congratulations to all
students out there who are graduating, and good luck!
Reason to Celebrate
The 2nd annual fundraiser for GAS at the Art Glass
House in Cocoa, Florida brought together 50 supporters
to watch demos and participate in the raffle. Organized
by Rocio and Ron Bearer, Jr. and Robbin Mickelsen,
the event raised almost $1500 for GAS. These donations
are very important to us, and we appreciate all your hard
work. Thank you!
The Ben W. Heineman Family recently donated their
collection of contemporary glass to the Corning Museum
of Glass. Considered to be one of the finest in the country,
and valued at 9.5 million, the collection includes vessels
and sculptures from artists such as Richard Marquis, Dale
Chihuly, Michael Glandy, Joel Philip Myers, Klaus Moje and
others. This gift is the highest valued gift ever received
by the museum, and will be housed in the new “Ben W.
Heineman Sr. Family Gallery.”
Chuck Lopez was chosen to design this year’s
Pilchuck Auction centerpieces. Lopez will lead a 20-person team of volunteers and staff to create 120 vessels
for the tables, and the images will be used in auction
publicity. Pilchuck also chose six artists as 2006 Hauberg
Fellows. Mark Zirpel, Brian Bolden, Jim Butler, Robert
Campbell, Rebecca Cummins and Ben Wright explored
the relationship between glass and imagery during a
residency at Pilchuck’s Stanwood campus in May.
Klaus Moje was honored with an Honorary Company
in the General Division of the Order of Australia. Moje
founded the glass program in the Canberra School of Art.
Congratulations, Klaus!
Two scholars have received the 2006 Rakow Grants
for Glass Research from the Corning Museum of Glass.
Sarah Jennings, an archeologist with English Heritage in
Portsmouth, England, received the award for her book
Vessel Glass from Beirut. Deborah Truitt, an independent
researcher from Carmel, Indiana, won for her database of
business records of American hollow glass importers
between 1700 and 1940.
New Leadership
After an extensive search, the board of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers has hired a new
executive director. Gwynne Rukenbrod joined ISGB on
June 1. The Museum of Glass announced the selection of
John Timothy (Tim) Close as its director effective May 15.
Close was most recently the executive director of the
Boise Art Museum in Boise, Idaho.

The Contemporary Glass Society has a snazzy new
website at www.cds-studio.co.uk, and features listings,
a member directory an online gallery, and a wealth of
glass-related links. The Smithsonian Craft Show, the
most prestigious juried exhibition and sale of crafts in
America, also has a new website. Visit the website at
www.smithsoniancraftshow.org.

Not only is The Studio of The Corning Museum
of Glass turning ten, but other major glass anniversaries are being celebrated this year as well. North
Lands Creative Glass, located in Lybster, a small
fishing village on the northeastern coast of Scotland,
is celebrating their tenth birthday this year with a
conference, workshops and classes. North Land,
under Artistic and Technical Director Jane Bruce,
is holding a special summer program entitled
“The Skilful Hand & Eye,” featuring master classes
with such glass masters as Dante Marioni, Alison
Kinnaird and others.
London Glassblowing Studio, founded by
Peter Layton in 1976, is celebrating their thirtieth
anniversary this year with workshops and a special
exhibition. This influential studio was first established on the banks of the Thames at Rotherhithe,
and moved in 1995 to its present location in an old
Victorian leather warehouse near the Tower Bridge.
Layton is known as a “champion of studio glass,”
and influenced the British movement at a time when
glass art was not as adventurous in the U.K. as it
was in the United States. He studied ceramics at
the Central School of Art and Design in London in
the early sixties, and moved to the States for a year
to teach at the University of Iowa. It was in this
energetic and creative climate he enrolled in his
first glass workshop, with Tom McGlauchlin of the
Toledo Glass Workshop. Upon his return to London
and its more conservative climate, Layton began his
influential career, establishing a glass program at

Hornsey Art School and setting up the Glass House
gallery in Covent Garden in 1969.
Since then, with the establishment of the
London Glassblowing Studio, his work has developed toward organic, curvilinear forms, as well
as collaborations with designer Simon Moss that
combine glass and metal into monumental
architectural forms. To find out more about Peter

STUDENT PROFILE
Jason Chakravarty
California State University at Fullerton
I am a mixed media object maker graduating
with an MFA from the California State University,
Fullerton. I was very fortunate to choose CSUF for
Graduate Studies, and he direction of the program
fit my goals as an artist. Through the visiting artist
program, I have been afforded the opportunity to
work with such notable artists as Jim White, Jamex
and Einar De La Torre, and Ruth King. I have also
attended workshops with established artists Jim
Nowak at Pilchuck and Ed Kirshner at UCSD.
Professionalism as an artist is also emphasized
through the program. I often show my work in
gallery and museum settings including locally at
Los Angeles’ Museum of Neon Art. I am currently
collaborating with another student, Mudflaps
Parker, to create a permanent, monumental public
sculpture for the campus.
My work consistently uses light, often in the
form of neon. I was introduced to neon at Arizona
State University in 1998. Working in the sculpture
program at ASU and a local neon shop, I gained a
confident understanding and passion for the medium.
Recently working with CSUF Professors Jim Jenkins
and John Leighton has granted me unlimited
material usage and the opportunity to explore
the technical opportunities in glass and sculpture.
My current direction uses cast glass with hollow
inclusions, which are attached hot to furnace blown
vessels. These forms are illuminated with one of the
noble, or inert, gases including neon, argon, krypton,
etc. The illuminated forms are then combined with
other media including cast metal, wood, or found
objects. Content and narrative are an important
part of my work. Typically this consists of a digestion
of culture, media, and current events. I collage
associative imagery, which allows a dialogue with
my audience. My intent is to notice the perceptions
of things happening in our culture and laugh.
My plans upon graduating are to continue
to produce and show work. I would also like to
become involved in experimental residencies and
workshops that would allow me to further explore
neon in my work.

Artist’s Statement
Sculpture is a vital element in our
visual environment. The creation of
objects that exist in three dimensions
whose purpose is to stimulate
reflection, meditation, awe and
amusement is as unique to humans
as it is ancient. I create works that
will live harmoniously in the world as
independent functionaries of society.
I draw inspiration from forms and
Brian F. Russell,“Surge” 2005, 17 x 24 x 8 in.,
rhythms in nature, ancient artifacts,
cast glass and formed bronze
mathematics and science, distilling
these influences into abstract points of intersection. My aim on a public scale is to involve
the viewer, to interject into the world points of beauty, interest and spontaneity. I want
people to use my sculpture as an excuse to mentally shift to another level of consciousness,
above the daily hubbub, even for a moment, and to reconnect with themselves via that
primal, emotional, cortex-controlled spasm of an encounter with an unexpected oasis in
our modern chaotic visual desert.
On a personal level, creating sculpture is an endless connected series of experiments.
Technical matters drive visual possibilities. Imaginings require research into materials and
techniques. The act of physically manipulating substances informs the entire thought
process. Knowledge of process induces parameters and frees the mind. The daily work ethic
gives total responsibility over the outcome. The sculpture is about the act of sculpting and
it carries with it the vitality of the sculptor.
Biography
Brian Russell’s artistic endeavors
began in the late seventies when
he started exploring black and
white photography. Concentrating
on the human form, Russell pursued
photography as his primary expressive medium until his introduction to
sculpture in 1981. Under Lawrence
Anthony’s instruction at Rhodes
College, Russell began with wood
and stone carving, he soon progressed to fabricating large freestanding sculptures from scrap
Brian F. Russell,“Three Peas” 2006, 16 x 28 x 12 in.,
cast glass and formed bronze
steel and industrial debris.
Russell spent the year after
graduation fashioning welded sculptures in his mother’s backyard. He began also to build
wood and steel furniture, which provided capital for the establishment of his first studio in
midtown Memphis in 1985. In 1994 Russell moved his studio to 15 acres in the countryside
northeast of Memphis. During the next six years, Russell produced many works, including
four commissions for monumental architectural sculptures.
On a visit to New Zealand in 1999 Russell was exposed to a lost wax glass casting
technique that produced exciting results. The current state of Russell’s art is a fusion of
forged metals and cast glass. Since 2004 Russell has been working with formed and
fabricated sheet bronze forms, as well as forged aluminum. Russell also enjoys the
constant challenges and problem solving required in producing one-off lost wax castings.
WORKSHOPS
Espace Verre
by John Paul Robinson
Espace Verre opened in 1983 in Fire Hall # 21, a century old building
near the historic Old Port area of Montreal. As the Glass Center of Quebec,
it offers both full-time and part-time courses in glassblowing, hot- and
kiln-casting, lamp working, neon, cold working, painting, fusing and
slumping. All studios are available for rent to qualified professionals and
both its gallery and library are open to the public. The building also houses
Fusion, a subsidized hot studio available to graduates for up to two years
after graduation.
All of the studios in the 4,000 square meter building are spacious and well
equipped. The large hot shop is equipped with a 1000 lb. continuous melt
furnace, four glory holes, nine annealers, garage, powder booth, pickup kilns
and torches. The flameworking, neon, and glass painting studio has large
variety of bench torches and four annealers. The kilnworking studio has nine
kilns including two large bell kilns and a mold making room. There is a fully
equipped cold working studio, including both stone and diamond engravers
and two sandblasters. In the basement there is a small metal and wood shop
and locker and storage space for students.
Since 1989, Espace Verre, in collaboration with the Cegep du Vieux-Montreal
(College of Old Montreal), has offered a three year college level glass program.
All aspects of glass forming are taught over the course of the program.
Presently there are 13 instructors on faculty, including well know artists
Laura Donefer, Susan Edgerley, Michele Lapointe and Donald Robertson.
The first two years of the program are dedicated to learning the different
techniques and processes of glass forming. Classes in glassblowing,
kilnworking, cold working, flameworking, hot casting, painting on glass,
and glass technology are offered. The third year focuses on each student
developing a personal direction and body of work.
Every year the school brings in two international artists to do workshops for both professionals and students. This list has included Lino
Tagliapietra, David Reekie, Philip Baldwin and Mark Petrovick. There is also
an ongoing series of workshops and demos by local artists.
As the program only accepts 12 applicants each year, so the instructor
to student ratio is very high. Students enjoy lots of contact with instructors,
TAs and technicians. Students also receive generous free studio time, giving
them plenty of opportunity to practice skills and develop their work.

technical article
Finding a Melting Profile that Works for You
This article is in response to a recent letter asking
GAS to sponsor a program by which optical pyrometers
would be provided to a certain selected portion of the
membership so that ideal melting temperatures could
be found. An optical pyrometer is a device that determines the temperature of an object by “looking” at it.
For use above the temperature where things start to
glow, these devices become drastically more expensive
because they must take infrared light into the equation.
The idea in the letter was that three or so pyrometers
would be purchased, then shipped around to select
participants who would keep very good records of
what actual temperatures were used and what seemed
most effective. The objective was ultimately to help
members to save gas by melting no higher than the
lowest temperature and for no longer than the shortest
duration necessary to obtain a batch of good glass.
All other GAS members who were not chosen to use
an optical pyrometer would be provided with the data
obtained by the chosen few.
The objective is great, but the proposed approach
would not likely deliver the desired objective. One
problem is that although the optical pyrometers could
be used to find the exact temperature of the glass in
a certain area of the pot or tank, and that temperature
could be used to calibrate each participant’s digital or
analog controller for repeatable results, only the participants in this case would be able to calibrate their controllers, while the recipients of the documented results
would be in the same place as before. But what would
these accurately calibrated controllers do for us anyway?
We would still be left to determine an appropriate
melting temperature and duration for each particular
glass, furnace, crucible and production schedule.
Interview with Anna and Shane
(Continued from page 1)
Anna: What qualities do you possess that you hope will
be assets to the organization?
Shane: I never envisioned myself as president, only
a board member. However, when I was asked I didn’t
hesitate to say yes. I have been an ambassador for
GAS in many situations and in many countries.
First of all, I am extremely honored and believe I’m
friendly, respectful, have a healthy work ethic, fairly
well organized, and I have a lot of connections around
the world. My intention is to do the best job I’m
capable of doing.
Anna: In what ways and directions do you feel that
GAS needs to grow?
Shane: GAS needs to concentrate on bettering
its membership services; establish a trust fund or
endowment to guide it through financial downturns,
provide more scholarships for students and other
beneficial programs.
Anna: What is your hope/vision for the organization
over the next couple of years?
4
Shane: I really would like to see our membership grow
and to see all members, current or past contribute by
paying their dues and being engaged. This is a nonprofit organization and we need money to improve
all the services that people say they want from us.
Anna: What do you think are GAS greatest challenges in
the years ahead?
Shane: Establishing a trust or endowment won’t be
easy but all large organizations should have one.
Implementing our long-range goals and directives
will keep us busy. Making GAS more international
in character, not so American-centric is especially an
important task, and a criticism from our membership
outside the US.
by Eddie Bernard
In the end, it does not matter if the digital controller is perfectly accurate. 2350°F would represent a
different situation in my furnace than it would in yours.
This is because my thermocouple is in a different place,
my flame comes from and exits different places in the
furnace, and my thermocouple lead wire is a different
gauge and length than yours. My melting schedule
might be different because I use a day tank and you
use a crucible. Maybe you use a silica crucible so you
can fill it up all in one charge, while I must charge five
times to fill mine. Perhaps my burner is more powerful
than yours and gets up to melting temperature faster
so I start timing sooner. Your furnace cools down faster
than mine, while my long cool down time acts partially
as extended cooking time.
Here’s what I know about finding an ideal melting
profile for your application:
I was told long ago to start with a pot or tank of
fined-out glass, then raise the temperature until seeds
appear. Back down from that temperature by 20
degrees. Then melt your batch at that temperature
until the seeds remaining in the glass are about
pinhead size and about 1/4 inch apart. Turn down to
working temperature and don’t squeeze. What is
happening here is that you are finding the temperature
at which your glass (in your furnace, measured by your
thermocouple) begins to liberate oxygen, or “reboils.”
You want to cook below that temperature. You can
cook way below that point but it will take longer, and
this is your decision to make. Regarding cooking time,
when you see that seeds in the glass shrinking and
spreading, you are looking for the point at which there
is enough glass around each seed to absorb the gas in
each seed upon cooling. If you don’t wait long enough,
it is possible that the seeds will consist of higher carbon
dioxide content because the debubblizers (which,
ironically, create bubbles of oxygen to dilute and carry
CO2 bubbles to the surface) haven’t completed their
job yet. CO2 is not absorbed into the glass as readily
as oxygen, so it is important to wait until the seeds in
the glass are more likely to be comprised of mostly
oxygen. This technique of determining cooking
duration can be used regardless of the melting
temperature chosen.
If the objective is ultimately to save gas, then
these techniques should get you anywhere an optical
pyrometer would get you. Here’s another tip for saving
gas and potentially reducing cords if you can’t charge
all in one shot. Turn the pot up halfway between
blowing temperature and cooking temperature.
Charge all of the glass into the pot at this “charging
temperature,” then turn up to the cooking temperature
after the last charge.

The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass Turns Ten
by Scott Benefield
The Studio in Corning first opened its doors ten
years ago in May 1996. As a glass studio specializing
in short workshops, it entered a market that was
dominated by a handful of well-established schools–
Penland, Pilchuck and Haystack–but soon distinguished
itself through its institutional affiliation with Corning,
Inc., the popularity and quality of its programs, and
its unique setting in a small town whose history
is inextricably tied up with the history of American
glassworking.
The timing of their establishment could not have
been better. The American studio glass movement had
just begun a period of sustained growth, gestated in
college art departments for thirty years and nourished
by a booming economy. An infrastructure of suppliers,
trade shows, publications, exhibition venues and sales
outlets had taken root and the number of young artists
entering the field soared, as evidenced by our own
membership figures (1996: 2718, 2006: 3305+).
The direct antecedent of the Studio was Rodi
Rover’s Hands On Glass, but the project began in
earnest when David Whitehouse, the director of the
Corning Museum, first contacted Bill Gudenrath and
Amy Schwartz in 1994 with the idea of establishing an
educational facility that would fall under the Museum’s
purview. Dr. Whitehouse had previously consulted on
museum matters with Mr. Gudenrath, who enjoyed a
considerable reputation as a glassblower and was
acknowledged as an expert in ancient glassworking
techniques. Ms. Schwartz, with a background in
business administration and also an artist working in
glass, was brought to the project as the administrative
director and, together with Mr. Gudenrath, moved to
Corning in September 1995.
With a site on the Corning campus, a secure and
healthy capital budget, and the strong support of
Corning, Inc., the initial building renovation and studio
construction progressed remarkably rapidly. Fred Metz
was brought in to design and construct a gleaming
new facility in February 1996, the first large project for
his new company, Spiral Arts. In the midst of all of this,
Mr. Gudenrath and Ms. Schwartz’s first child, Sophia, was
born in March. And the first summer of programming–
featuring Lino Tagliapietra, Ruth King, Edols/ Elliott,
Emilo Santini and other reknowned artists–began on
schedule in May. With that many stressful experiences
ganged up in a span of six months, it’s no wonder that
the continuing operation of the Studio has, in a sense,
been a downhill run from there.
Each one of the prominent schools offering workshops cultivates its own distinctive character, which is
formed by a combination of the setting, the facilities
and, perhaps most importantly, the individuals who
are involved in the day-to-day operation of the school.
The Studio has the obvious advantage of being part
of the Corning Museum of Glass, with its unparalleled
collection and curatorial staff, and the Rakow Library,
with its extensive holdings and knowledgeable
librarians. The facilities, which doubled in size in 2001
prior to the Corning GAS conference, have been
scrupulously maintained. But the Studio’s profile is
also a reflection of Bill Gudenrath’s commitment to
excellence and attention to detail, along with Amy
Schwartz’s concern for creating a nurturing environment for artists and students and making an array of
opportunities available to them.
In particular, the programming at the Studio has
been innovative and expansive. Ms. Schwartz cultivates
a core group of faculty that have a distinct preference
for teaching in Corning, and seeks out other instructors
by keeping abreast of new artists in the field and courting established artists who have little prior teaching
experience. Thus, well-respected artists such as Davide
Fuin and Tobias Mohl have taught for the first time at
Corning, and certain of their peers–such as Elio Quarisa
and Emilio Santini–make regular appearances; and
emerging artists, such as Eric Meek, have had their
debut on the Studio’s class schedule.
Although the summer and winter classes may be
the most familiar to university-level students coming
from around the United States and abroad, the Studio
also cultivates a diverse audience closer to home.
Weekend workshops and shorter classes offered in the
spring and the fall typically draw from a more regional
base. A collaborative program targeted at local at-risk
youth offers intensive instruction for secondary school
students that has been very successful. The Studio also
interacts with the local community by working with
middle school and high school groups on special projects designed to supplement the school curriculum.
And visitors of all ages who come to the Museum have
the opportunity for a hands-on experience with glass
through the Walk-in Workshop program, which manages to seduce twenty percent of museum visitors.
The Master Class series of professionally produced
videos that began with Lino Tagliapietra and have
expanded to include Bill Gudenrath, Jiri Harcuba, the
Higuchis, Rudi Gritsch and Cesare Toffolo, have reached
a wide audience and constitute an important historical
document of the studio glass movement.
The Studio also offers other opportunities to
artists, including a residency program in the spring and
fall. For one month, artists are provided with travel,
housing, studio access and assistance, enabling artists
to develop new work and experiment with materials
and processes. There is also a unique work/study
program for the spring and fall, in which young artists
are employed for three months and paid for 30 hours
of work a week in the Studio, and are offered six hours
of weekly access to the facilities. The Studio has a
scholarship program that offers financial assistance
for students attending their classes.
