Swarming Honeybee 2006
Paul Stankard is a glass god. That is a fact. I have been fortunate enough to have met him years ago at the Gathering of the Society of Glass Bead Makers that was in Corning. He was the keynote speaker. His glass work is so incredible and radiates his love of nature and glass. You can watch him work in a clip from the most recent Craft in America episode that’s on You Tube. I found this last night and was just mesmerized by his work. And of course check out his web site for all of his work and even a tutorial. So amazing!
Four Seasons
Check out the root formations in the larger piece. They’re people…root people. When Paul was in Corning he made a bead. He was very proud of the bead. Us bead makers were stunned at how happy he was to make a bead. It had a root person inside it. A little naked man. On the other side there was what looked like a bean, from the outside…but when you looked through the bead you saw that it spelled fertility on the bean. We were in awe off this man. He donated it to the silent auction to help the Society of Glass Bead Making’s fund raising. It went for $3100. Enough said…I wish I had a picture to share with you. Just go to his web site and enjoy! And check out his poetry too!

I think I saw this artist on PBS last night. Amazing!
That would be perfect timing on my part…he’s so incredible!
when craft in america season 2 came out, I was visiting my parents who are very gracious to tolerate my babbling on about glass, but are not really that into glass themselves. I had them watch the two episodes with me, and they were both highly impressed by Stankard’s skill and backstory (can you imagine that people thought this gifted artist was stupid? Turned out, he just was dyslexic!)
