Josh Simpson works on a large glass piece with the help of studio assistants in his Shelburne Falls, Mass studio. Creating a large piece of blown glass is breathtaking, dangerous and awe-inspiring. Internationally renowned artist Josh Simpson was commissioned by the Corning Museum of Art to create a 100-pound version of one of his signature ‘inhabited planets’ in 2007. Simpson’s blown glass platters, vessels, and sculptures are celebrated internationally for their extraordinary, complex beauty. His dreamlike planets and landscapes – of the seas, the skies and the heavens – are compelling and enigmatic. They are also technical feats without parallel. His work resides in literally dozens of museums worldwide, including the Josh Simpson Glass Museum in Japan!
