Harvey Littleton

Ceramic, Glass and Metal Artists

Harvey Littleton was an American artist and educator who lived from 1922 to 2013, credited as the founder of the American studio glass movement. In 1962 he led workshops at the Toledo Museum of Art demonstrating that glass could be melted and worked in a small individual studio rather than only in an industrial factory setting. He went on to establish the first university glassblowing program, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, training a generation of American studio glass artists.
