Late 1960s–70s

  Emphasis on technology and education.

    Experimental discovery of the material through trial and error.

    Self-expression (not sales) most important.

    Male-dominated.

    Primarily hot (furnace) glass; some slumping plate glass, laminating pieces of blown forms, fusing, etc.

    Few critics; limited interest by museums and galleries.

    Equipment: furnaces, tools, glass.

    Long-standing techniques, such as the “fuming” and “feathering” popular during the Art Nouveau period, are continually reinvented and updated, even to this day.

    Part of broader international craft movement of the 1960s in which clay, fiber, wood, and metal are used for creative expression.

    Dichotomy exists between the sculptor in search of form (the “technique is cheap” attitude) vs. the craftsman striving to create a perfectly executed functional object.

1970s

    Studio glass survey exhibitions and galleries devoted to glass begin to appear.

    The studio movement creates a new industry for glassmaking-related products. Equipment, tools, and materials become increasingly available to studio artists (Kugler color rods, Norstar borosilicate colors, new furnace designs). Changes in glass composition from 475 marbles in the early 1960s to clear Coke bottles used by schools in the 1970s to West Virginia glass companies selling artists their cullet and, finally, batch companies, such as Littleton Batch Co., making glass specifically for studio glass artists.

    Paoli Clay Co. is among the first to sell glassmaker’s tools in the United States; previously tools were imported from Germany.

    Explosion of glass schools and studios in the 1970s and 1980s paves the way for a new industry of glass tools and equipment.

Mid-1980s

     “Craft vs. art” debate heats up.

     Glass Art Society places technical articles in a separately bound journal.

     Move toward professionalism; artists concentrate on the business of running a studio and developing marketing strategies to create a stable livelihood.

     Production of technically assured, confident works.

     Greater interest in content, using glass as a contemporary sculpture medium.

     Collectors build collections based less on investment value and more on the inherent worth of the artworks. Camaraderie of collectors and friendly competition for the most beautiful artworks lead to a relatively stable market and the development of a glass community.

     Use of glass as a fine-art medium.

     Reaction against the “beauty” of glass.

     Auctions of contemporary glass begin at Sotheby’s and Christie’s.

1985

Glass Focus, no. 1, 1987–. Published by Beverly M. Copeland & Associates.

[Notes: In Fire and Form, the publisher of Glass Focus was identified as the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG). After research, we have changed the publisher as above. We have the following information from an August 19, 2003 e-mail from the publisher, Beverly Copeland:

"I have all the original copies of GF since I began it in Feb, 1987.
Beverly M. Copeland started publishing a glass-related newsletter in February, 1987. It was called the North Shore Studio Art Glass Newsletter because it began life as a local periodical for Chicago's North Shore area.  The first issue was two pages. Issues were published in April and June, and by August, 1987, the issue was 12 pages, and contained more national than local news.
With the October, 1987 issue and a more national focus, I changed the name of my publication to Glass Focus.
Also, in the fall of 1987, I was approached by Madeline Baer, a founding member of the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass to ask if I would supply their members with Glass Focus. The sixth issue of what had become a bimonthly periodical was published in December, 1987.
The February, 1988 issue of Glass Focus was the first issue to have below the name Glass focus on the masthead "in association with the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass."]
