The Chrysler Museum Glass Studio is a 7,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed to complement the world-class glass collection in the Museum. The Studio features a furnace capable of melting 560 pounds of glass, three glory holes for reheating glass objects as they are being formed, five annealing ovens that slowly cool molten glass to room temperature and support mold-cast glasswork and fusing, and a flameworking table with space for eight artists to work on projects including beadmaking and sculpture using glass rods and tubes. Audio-visual equipment enhances guests' ability to see free glass demonstrations by our Studio Team, assistants, and artists-in-residence. Our full range of programs, partnerships, and artist projects are available at www.chrysler.org!

Huskie has worked with glass for more than 10 years, specializing in blown glass. After earning her BA in Glass and Ceramics from the University of Sunderland, she went on to co-found Devereux and Huskie Glassworks in the UK. Her work is rooted in a fascination with pattern, whether found in nature, textiles, or geometry, and in 2018 she was named the Wimbledon Championship artist. 🏆

On October 6, the studio glass community lost one of its most beloved pioneers, Paul Stankard. 🕊️

Known as a master of the paperweight, Stankard spent more than five decades creating intricate flameworked botanicals that elevated the medium from craft to fine art. His meticulous work captured the natural world with a precision and tenderness that was entirely his own.

His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, and his work is represented in more than 60 museums around the world, including the Chrysler Museum. Our condolences go out to all who knew and loved him. 🤍
