Title: Fantastic Modern American Glass Artist
Post by: BohaGlass on February 20, 2012, 09:22:09 AM: Hi Everyone,

I am always trawling through the web looking for new glass artists to buy from and found this site of work by David Patchen
http://www.davidpatchen.com/content.php?sec=portfolio
His work literally blew me away.
Sadly, I am not able to afford any of his lovely pieces!
Hope you like them. (BTW I am not affiliated with him in any way - just liked his work)

Post by: chopin-liszt on May 06, 2012, 11:11:13 AM: We can use our own images of pieces we have.

I've actually been planning to start a thread, similar to "show your displays" but concentrating on early Studio Glass - after all, it's officially the 50th "birthday" of the Studio Glass Movement - if the start is assumed to be the Toledo seminars, given on 23rd March 1962, and all due defference is given to others, such as Frederick Carder, Maurice Marinot etc. who paved the way.

I thought we ought to do something to celebrate this - but the problems with the board kind of got in the way in March - and the camera and I are going through a very rocky patch in our relationship right now.
