"Blue Opal Flowers" by Mark Peiser, 1971
01
Artifact Overview
Mark Peiser was nearly thirty years old when he visited Penland School in 1967 to learn glassblowing. After three days at the School, he found that he wanted to pursue glass seriously and requested to apply for a position as an artist in residence. The director appointed him to the position for the winter with little explanation after they had a casual conversation. Blue Opal Flowers is from the earliest phase of Peiser's work.
