Watch The <em>Stained Glass</em> Quarterly for information on specific classes offered.

I've been doing stained glass for over 35 years and never seen such a comprehensive article on it's history. My congratulations to you on all your research. Even after all these years, I found I knew far too little about the art I was practicing. I've made glass for many churches, restaurants and state buildings but my work mostly consisted of private homes. I had no idea I was practicing such an ancient art. I plan on teaching again, just so the art carries on. Thank you so much for your insightful article.

At 25? by 25?, it is the largest laminated work of art in the world and it is installed in a museum in Mexico City." I am doing research on this mural by Tamayo. In fact, I have found what appears to be a 14" square of a Tamayo Glass Curtain made in August of 1982, produced by Van Tetterode in Amsterdam. Is this related to the piece installed in "a museum in Mexico City." What is the museum? Can anyone provide more information. I am a Curator for The Mexican Museum in San Francisco, CA where the 14" glass square resides and was a gift to the museum. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hugh was a member and an all around glass artist. I met him in his Dallas studio and grew in glass with him as my mentor. He and Teresa moved to Mena, Ar to live and work on a hilllside with a view. We celebrate his life and mourn his passing. We are saddened by the passing of Hugh Erwin of Arkansas. Hugh was a member and an all around glass artist.
