On October 6, the studio glass community lost one of its most beloved pioneers, Paul Stankard. 🕊️

Known as a master of the paperweight, Stankard spent more than five decades creating intricate flameworked botanicals that elevated the medium from craft to fine art. His meticulous work captured the natural world with a precision and tenderness that was entirely his own.

His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, and his work is represented in more than 60 museums around the world, including the Chrysler Museum. Our condolences go out to all who knew and loved him. 🤍
