Studio Glass in Focus: Dialogue and Innovation is one of more than 150 celebrations across the country that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the studio glass movement. The current wealth of creativity in glass art had humble beginnings in 1962 at two workshops arranged by Harvey Littleton at the Toledo Museum of Art.
