United States Art Glass:

The United States has had two phases of development in glass. The early and mid-1900s had a number of factories active in Ohio and Corning, New York. with factories such as Blenko Glass, Fenton Glass, Stuben Glass, Viking Glass and others turning out both functional and artistic pieces. The second phase of glass in the United States happened in the 60's as Harvey Littleton, Dominick Labino and Marvin Lipofsky kicked off the studio glass movement by creating small-scale furnaces for the use of glass as an artistic medium.  This modern studio glass movement caught on in design schools and Littleton would go on to establish the first fine art glass program at the University of Wisconsin at Madison; Marvin Lipofsky, founded the second university-level glass program at the University of California at Berkeley in 1964; and Dale Chihuly initiated the glass program at the Rhode Island School of Design that same year.. As glass grew in the U.S. and artists learned from artists before them there has been a growth of studio art glass distributed across the country, but with the largest concentration of glass artists working in Seattle. San Francisco and Corning also have a sizable concentration of artists working in glass.
