Glass Workshop Report, June 1962, the Toledo Museum of Art |
|
GLASS WORKSHOP REPORT JUNE 1962, THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART, mimeographed booklet, 19 p. The Toledo Museum of Art hosted two important glass workshops in 1962, one in March and the other in June. The stated purpose of the two-week workshop in June 1962 was "to introduce the basic material, the molten metal, to the artists and craftsmen-to design and test equipment which they might construct for themselves-to investigate techniques for the artist working alone-to look with this knowledge at the glass of the past and present-to look at educational possibilities within the secondary, college and university systems." The workshop was staffed by Harvey K. Littleton, Assistant Professor, Department of Art and Art Education at the University of Wisconsin; Norman Schulman, ceramics instructor at the Toledo Museum; Harvey Leafgreen, retired glassblower, Libbey Glass Company; Nils Carlson, a glass lamp worker at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan; and Millard Rogers, Rudy Riefstahl, William Hutton, and Charles F. Gunter all from the Toledo Museum of Art. Dominick Labino from Johns Manville Company assisted with the glass chemistry. The report includes staff and participant statements, as well as technical data regarding color and glass formulas. Harvey K. Littleton papers. Gift of Harvey K. Littleton, 1975. |
