The Corning Museum of Glass just announced the passing of Harvey K. Littleton. "Littleton was an internationally acclaimed artist who played an integral role in the founding of the American Studio Glass Movement. His work continually awes those who encounter it on display in our museum. His art and his approach to the material has inspired many generations of artists working in glass."
"Donations in Harvey Littleton’s name can be made to The Hospice and Palliative Care Center of Mitchell County http://www.hospicemc.com/how-you-can-help/donate/ that provided invaluable support to his family in the care for Harvey, and/or to the Penland School of Crafts "Harvey and Bess Littleton Scholarship Fund" http://penland.org/support/endowed_scholarship_funds.html that provides one full scholarship for a two-week summer session in hot glass."
Welcome to my recycled glass blog. This blog first began as an effort to document my recycled glass work on an Individual Artist Grant. After the project was completed, I decided to continue the blog to provide a comprehensive source for information about recycled glass, art and design.
