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.
