Atomizer, 1964

Summary

Paul Stankard, one of the founders of the Studio Glass movement, began working with glass in the early 1960s. He graduated with a degree in Scientific Glassblowing in 1963, then worked for various chemical laboratories making scientific instruments, like this atomizer. Paul, however, dreamed of being an artist and in the late 1960s experimented with making paperweights--a creative form in which he would excel.
