 In
the 1960s, Dominick Labino and Harvey Littleton pioneered a
resurgence of studio glass production that led to an entirely
new body of colorful functional and sculptural work. Labino
and Littleton were the first to demonstrate that technology
had developed to the point where one individual, or a few
individuals working together, in a small studio could create
glass objects. It was a movement away from the large-scale
factory production of glass that had dominated for many years
as well as a return to the earlier practice of individual
craft. Today, many glassblowers are producing a wide range of
work at various levels of excellence. One intriguing aspect
of this new movement is the extent to which two or more
artists have developed creative partnerships, working
together as what can best be characterized as glassblowing
companions. |
