Josh Simpson '72 has been named to the Board of Fellows at the Corning Museum of Glass. The Fellows of the Corning Museum are among the world's leading glass collectors, scholars, dealers, and glassmakers. The more than 45 members of the organization help to disseminate knowledge about the history and art of glassmaking and to support the acquisitions program of the Museum's Rakow Research Library. Admission to the fellowship is intended to recognize accomplishment in the field, and is by invitation only. "We are really pleased to have Josh join our board of Fellows. He's been a long-time supporter of the Museum and is so highly regarded in the world of glass," said a Corning representative. Simpson is a contemporary glass artist with a studio in Shelburne, Mass. He is known for his Planets, orbs of clear glass ranging from a few inches to more than a foot in diameter, their interiors filled with elements that resemble mountains, glaciers, oceans, continents and reefs of coral.
