Artifact Overview
Paul Stankard, one of the founders of the Studio Glass movement, began working with glass in the early 1960s. He graduated with a degree in Scientific Glassblowing in 1963, then worked for various chemical laboratories making scientific instruments, like this atomizer. Paul, however, dreamed of being an artist and in the late 1960s experimented with making paperweights--a creative form in which he would excel.

- 10 Artifacts
Paul Stankard is one of the founders of the Studio Glass movement of the 1960s and 70s. Most early Studio Glass artists began their careers creating paperweights and moved on to other forms. Stankard concentrated on creating the most technically sophisticated and beautiful paperweights he could imagine. Today, Stankard is acclaimed for his miniature worlds, consisting of imaginary botanicals, bees and sometimes human figures.
