Summary
Only the cover of the report has been scanned.
The Toledo Museum of Art hosted two important glass workshops in 1962, one in March and the other in June. The purpose of the two-week workshop in June 1962 was to introduce the basic material, the molten metal, to the artists and craftsmen-to design and test equipment which they might construct for themselves-to investigate techniques for the artist working alone-to look with this knowledge at the glass of the past and present-to look at educational possibilities within the secondary, college and university systems. The report includes staff and participant statements, as well as technical data regarding color and glass formulas.
