The Clark Art Institute hosts renowned glass artist Josh Simpson, who offers a glimpse into historical and contemporary glassmaking techniques. This free event takes place in the Clark’s auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center. Presented in conjunction with Fragile Beauty: Treasures from the Corning Museum, this talk explores the intricate process behind creating one of the exhibition’s stunning objects, Megaworld. Drawing parallels to his own work in his rural studio, Simpson discusses how natural and astronomical inspirations translate into glass art. Fragile Beauty will be on view for one more week following this lecture.
