About this Artist

Harvey K. Littleton

"Harvey K. Littleton, the man called the "father of the Studio Glass Movement" was not at first a glass artist. After receiving a Master of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Arts in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, he embarked on the career of potter. Littleton received recognition for his work as a ceramist in a national exhibition sponsored by the American Crafts Council and at the First International Exposition of ceramics in Cannes, France. "

In 1959 he began to investigate the possibility of glass as a medium, and in 1960 had melted glass and cold-worked lumps of glass. In the summer of 1962 the Toledo Museum of Art invited Littleton to lead a glassblowing workshop. It was in that seminar that Littleton introduced the idea that glass could be mixed and melted, blown and worked in the studio by the artist. Up to that time it was widely believed that glass objects could only be made in the highly structured, mass-produced world of the glass industry where the labor of making glass is divided between designers and skilled craftsmen.

That fall Littleton, who had been employed since 1951 as a ceramics teacher at the University of Wisconsin, began to offer glassblowing classes through the university at his farm outside Madison, Wisconsin. In 1963 he established a graduate course and glass studio at the university that attracted as students such well-known artists as Marvin Lipofsky and Dale Chihuly.

Littleton set up Littleton Studios and in the mid-1980's, working with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, brought painters to his studio to work on vitreograph prints with his staff. The success of that project encouraged Littleton to continue to invite painters, printmakers, potters and glass artists to his studio to experiment with the medium.
