Welcome to Toledo!
Welcome to the 42nd Annual International
GAS Conference and our celebration of the
50th anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement!
In 1962, the Studio Glass Movement (our
Movement) began here in Toledo with a new idea.
The idea was to make glassworking accessible to
artists in a studio environment. Since then, it has
been the new ideas, approaches, and connections
that have enabled this movement to grow and
stretch across the world. The expanse of this movement has introduced many artists to the medium
of glass and its methods of expression. This conference is the occasion and opportunity
for us as a community to come back to the epicenter of this movement to celebrate the
impact of Harvey Littleton’s innovative idea.
As you look through this program book, I am
certain that you will begin to feel eager and excited
about the line-up of impressive presenters we have
been able to assemble in order to celebrate this
golden anniversary of studio glass. You may also
develop other feelings as you realize that you might
not be able to physically witness all the exhilarating
events that there are on offer. For this I am sorry.
I therefore ask that you take a moment to plan
your days (and energy) very carefully to prioritize
Tom
McGlauchlin’s
Clouds of Joy
(if you can!) who and what you will see over our (courtesy of The Arts Commission)
short time together.
Although this celebration has peripherally been decades in the making by our wider
community, the Toledo Co-Chairs, our sponsors, the local community, and the GAS staff
and Board of Directors have all spent the last couple years focused on the success of this
event. I am very grateful for all the effort and commitment of our supporters, staff, and
sponsors. It is only through their combined abilities that we can offer such a fantastic program of events, demonstrations, presentations, and exhibitions in amazing settings such
as the Toledo Museum of Art, the Glass Pavilion, and the Huntington Center.
I am happy that you are here, and I hope you have a fantastic time celebrating
with us here in Toledo! I would also like to thank you for coming to the conference,
for being a GAS member, and for getting involved. The power of this organization, our
community, and this movement is secured and further strengthened by your effort,
interest, and involvement.
Thank you.
My ever best,
Jeremy Lepisto

GAS President’s Letter
From the Conference Co-Chairs
Welcome to Toledo!
We are honored to host the
2012 Glass Art Society
conference, a celebration of
the 50th anniversary of the
Harvey Littleton/Dominick
Labino workshops that
launched the Studio Glass
Movement in the United
States. A big thank-you to
those in our community, who
have embraced this event,
enabling this celebration of
Co-chairs Jack Schmidt, Margy Trumbull, Herb Babcock
our history.
How exciting that much of this celebration can take place at the Toledo Museum of
Art, the site of those first innovative workshops! We’ll enjoy the Opening Ceremonies
in TMA’s Peristyle Theater, and the exhibition Color Ignited: Glass 1962-2012 in the TMA’s
new Wolfe Gallery. Across Monroe Street, on the TMA campus, is the stunning Glass
Pavilion, designed in 2006 by the Pritzker Prize-winning, Tokyo-based firm SANAA.
Here we’ll enjoy GAS demonstrations, the Pre-Conference Reception fundraiser, and the
TMA’s newly reinstalled, wide-ranging permanent collection of glass objects. And there’s
more every day at the Park Inn and SeaGate Convention Centre!
The region’s active art community has worked hard for more than a year to welcome
GAS. Highlights of the preparations include two public Days of Glass – one in Toledo
on June 13 and one in Detroit on June 17 – with demonstrations at Owens Community
College, Bowling Green State University, College for Creative Studies, TMA, The Glass
Academy, and at many private studios. Plus, more than 40 venues in the area will be
showing glass this week.
Many thanks to those hosting our exciting glassmaking facility tours: Libbey
Glass Factory, Pilkington Float Glass Operations, Mark Matthews Studio in Sauder Village,
Johns Manville in Waterville, and the Architectural and Public Art Tours in Toledo. If you
are able to participate, these experiences will give you a sense of the region’s long and
interesting track record of innovation in glass since the 19th century.
We want to acknowledge that the success of this conference has depended on the
impressive support of its local sponsors (especially Block Communications, Inc., which
came aboard early as our Presenting Sponsor), the unwavering focus of its creative
committees, and the committees’ resolve to offer you, the attendees, a memorable 50th
anniversary of studio glass.
We welcome you to our city for a stimulating conference that addresses the
important issues of our time and helps build a bright future for all of us who work
creatively in glass.

(GAS Board Liaison)
Greetings to All GAS Officials,
Artists, Exhibitors, Sponsors & Visitors!
It is my distinct honor to welcome you to Toledo
and Northwest Ohio. We are delighted to host the
GAS 2012 IDEA IMPACT INNOVATION Conference
June 13 through June 17, 2012. After all, Toledo
is where the Studio Glass movement began
50 years ago!
The “Glass City” is home to some of the
world’s largest glass producers and is a region
where university students study glass in formal
programs due in part to the groundbreaking
workshops that took place here in 1962 at the
Toledo Museum of Art. Toledoans are very proud
of our unique heritage and exciting future in glass.
We enjoy an ongoing creative culture achieved through
melding industrial innovation with artistic expression.
The TMA offers open access to its exquisite glass collection and other magnificent
holdings and provides a wealth of inspiring community programming. In Toledo, you’ll
also find a multitude of studios, galleries and other venues which feature local, national
and international glass art. They are all pleased to share information about the artists
and artisans who created these wonderful works.
Toledo is a culturally diverse community that enjoys making new friends. We are now
pleased to count you among them. Thank you for visiting the Glass City. I am confident
that you’ll have a great time during the conference!
Sincerely,
Michael P. Bell
Mayor

Keynote Lecture - The Toledo Museum of Art Glass Workshops: Changing Contexts from the
Early 1960s to Now
The Toledo Museum of Art glass workshops in 1962 have become the classic marker of the
launching of the Studio Glass Movement, founded at a time of both international crisis and
cultural experimentation. Today we are absorbing the impact of the third great print revolution
in history – the digital age – a technological avalanche bringing constant innovation. Fifty years
after the Toledo glass workshops, how far have we come? And what indicators have we for
future artistic directions in glass?

Emerging Artists Presentation
TMA Little Theater
Virginia Griswold - Griswold talks about “opposites” as they exist in her recent work,
specifically: inside/outside, making/un-making, moving/being still.
David King - Productive Illusions – A presentation of artwork that draws from the historical
form and properties of glass to elicit a participatory understanding of the material’s
relationship to vision.

Labino Lecture - Seeing Glass in Its True Colors
“How did they do that?” That’s a question colored glass artifacts often elicit. Colors are generated by solution, precipitation, coating, and staining; but concentration/thickness effects, redox,
particle size, interference, and fluorescence add extra interest. Color has an artistic context and
matters in energy-generation and communications, underpinning mobiles and internet use.

Strattman Lecture - The Attack of the Blob: Glass Art and the Will to Form
The earliest 1960s Toledo expressions of studio glass art: Are they immature - signs of a
struggle with material and technique? Or are they radical objects, worthy of art historical
stature in their own right? Adamson will suggest that these literally “informal” works might be
adopted as models of progressive practice.

John Drury
TMA Little Theater
Lecture - Winds of Change: The Future Is Now
Generations of young glassmakers have made the leap from the blatantly decorative as dictum,
to embrace the conceptual, scientific, and technology-based means of creation with the same
vigor and experimental nature exhibited during the early years of the Studio Glass Movement
in America. Drury expands on the discussion – and our understanding - with, as he says,
“laser, wit, and info-mercial.”

work with cane techniques. Born in Osaka, Japan, he earned his BA and MFA in the US.
He co-founded the New Orleans School of GlassWorks and, more recently, the Three x 3

Lucio Bubacco was born in Murano, Italy in 1957. At the age of 15, he received his
artisan’s license and began marketing flameworked Venetian memorabelia. Inspired by
human and equine anatomy, he created large, free-standing sculpture, worked hot and
annealed, and made from flexible Murano soda glass canes. In 1980, Bubacco began
studying anatomical drawing with Alessandro Rossi. This resulted in the figure becoming
the central theme in his work. His creations transcend the traditional “lume” technique,
collocating motive tensions and plasticity in a context of narrative surrealism. Bubacco
now devotes himself to teaching and sharing his knowledge and technical skills in
Morano and abroad.
Ellie Burke has been working in glass since 1972, when she began her “flameworking
adventure” at a neighborhood glass shop. After an apprenticeship in scientific glassblowing
at the Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc (1978-80), she became a scientific glassblower
and an instructor. Once she discovered that whimsy is an art form with integrity, she
found a way to use her technical skills to create personal work that plays with language
and culture. Her work, which often focuses on the perfume bottle as a vessel of expression, has been featured in several publications including Style, Collectible Beads, and
New Glass Review 13.
Robin Cass has been a professor at Rochester Institute of Glass since 1998, and has
taught at venues such as Pilchuck and The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass.
She also served on the GAS Board of Directors (2004-2010). Cass has a BFA from
Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Alfred University. She creates biomorphic
and scientific forms, using traditional glassblowing techniques in new ways. Her work
is included in several publications including “Masters of Blown Glass,” edited by
Susan Rossi-Wilcox, and “25 Years of New Glass Review,” edited by Tina Oldknow.
Cass’ sculptural work has been extensively collected and exhibited internationally.
Daniel Clayman has been involved in the visual and performing arts since the mid1970s. His first formal training was as a theater and modern dance lighting designer.
He began “sculpting with light” as a lighting design student and then as a visiting lighting
designer for the Dance Department at Connecticut College in 1977. After six years of
working with numerous touring theater and dance companies, he enrolled in the glass
program at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1983. Clayman earned a BFA in Glass
in 1986 and has maintained a studio in Providence, RI ever since.
Vanessa Cutler completed her PhD in 2006 at the University of Sunderland. An authority
on using waterjet technology with glass, she has presented and published her research in
both Europe and the US. She has also exhibited her work internationally. Cutler’s aim is
to help other artists utilize waterjet technology within their own practice. She is currently
writing a book on new technologies in glass, due out in 2012. She is also currently
lecturing at the Welsh School of Architectural Glass at Swansea Metropolitan University.
Stephen Paul Day, a native of New Orleans, has worked in glass for 25 years. He has
taught worldwide, including 24 years at the Bild-Werk Frauenau in Germany. He lives
and works part-time in Berlin. An avid seeker of the curious and wonderful, he derives
pleasure from the unusual and is motivated by experimenting with history. His main studies began at the Beaux-Arts in Paris; he has since worked around the world. He has done
numerous residencies (including ones at the Kohler Arts Center, the Museum of Glass,
and Pilchuck Glass School), and received four fellowships at WheatonArts.

Fritz Dreisbach has been with GAS since before the beginning; this co-founder has
continued to serve, advise, and support the organization since 1971 in myriad ways,
including serving as GAS President twice (1982-1984 and 1976-1978). He has won both
of GAS’s highest honors: Honorary Lifetime Membership Award (1988) and Lifetime
Achievement Award (2002). Dreisbach now lives and makes glass as an independent
artist at Island Glass Studio in Freeland, Washington. He is working on a new series of
wheel-carved glass, in addition to his singular show pieces: the “Mongos,” playful goblets,
tricks, and “toys.” He continues to teach workshops and short classes all over the world.
For 45 years Dreisbach, “the Johnny Appleseed of Glass,” has presented hundreds of
lectures and demonstrations in North America, Europe, and Asia. His glass is represented
in numerous global, public and private collections, in, as he would say, “…all the usual
suspects!”
John Drury is a New York City-based artist, writer, and teacher. He holds a BFA from
Columbus College of Art and Design and an MFA from Ohio State University. Since 1988,
he has been a member of the collaborative art duo CUD, with Robbie Miller. This recipient
of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award for the Visual Arts (1997) has exhibited internationally
and has artwork featured in 500 Glass Objects, International Glass Art, and Glass Art

needle,” she writes. Feather currently resides in Millville, NJ and is a studio assistant at
WheatonArts and Cultural Center.
Shane Fero has been a flameworker for over 42 years and maintains a studio next
to Penland School in North Carolina. He participates in international symposia and

degree in scientific glassblowing. As a proud member of the American Scientific
Glassblowers Society, Ford regularly attends seminars and demonstrates at workshops.
Beyond the scientific community, he is more commonly known for his glass goblets,
bottles, pendants, and vessels. His artistic work is influenced by his interests in history,

bottles to large, elaborate bottles encasing glass animals, figures, and even smaller
versions of themselves.

Studio Ramp LLC with his wife and partner Mel George in Portland, Oregon. Studio Ramp
LLC was a custom kilnforming fabrication studio that translated artists’ and architects’
designs into glass from concept to completion. Lepisto has taught kilnforming classes
and workshops in the US and internationally. He worked at the Bullseye Glass factory in
both their Glass Production and Research & Education Departments. He received his BFA

that include the Science Fiction Museum, the Hall of Fame, Traver Gallery, Blue Rain
Gallery, and Thomas Riley Galleries. His present series of work is in the form of rockets,
figurative mechanisms, and scientific apparatus. While many of Allen’s pieces reveal his
curiosity in science, they also convey humor, simple narratives, lightheartedness, and
an antiquated vision of the future. Recently, his work has been featured and reviewed in
American Art Collector, American Craft Magazine, GLASS Quarterly, Glass Art Magazine,
Launch Magazine, New Glass Review, and Western Art and Architecture. He worked on
the William Morris sculpture team for 12 years. He has taught at Toyama Institute of
