- Glass Rods, Used by Paul Stankard, 2010-2015 - Paperweight artist Paul Stankard creates small botanical worlds in glass. Using a technique called flame working, Stankard melts rods of glass--pulled and shaped with tweezers and other tools--to fashion amazingly lifelike tiny flowers, insects, and even human figures. These "inclusions" are then encased in a glass mold to produce a paperweight.
