  Cushing.org | Parent Scoop - Glass Studio Creates... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 2/20/2006    Last Visited: 4/14/2009  

  "I always wanted a dedicated glass studio," reflects Bob Johnson, Chair of Visual Arts, "But we never had the space or the funding to do so. Thanks to the generosity of a group of parents and alumni who contributed toward the studio's start-up, Cushing now boasts a most professional glass studio. "Very few individuals have a set-up like this," says Johnson.
  ...
  "The kids who are in the class now don't want to stop," says Johnson. "They all begged me to let them continue for the rest of the year. It's like how we started with silversmithing - once students start getting wind of that program, everyone wanted to do it. Glass is going in that direction."
  
  During the first two weeks of class, students eagerly worked with Johnson on sample projects to test the kilns. This trial-and-error process allowed the class to determine the exact temperature and times different types of glass required to fuse properly. "Our kilns are so advanced and air tight that we can't use the information on time and temperatures that the books suggest. We had to work together as a class to figure that out and set the baselines," remarks Johnson.
  ...
  Ever-dedicated to his students, Johnson even keeps them in mind when shopping his wholesale suppliers for glass. "I recently went up to New Hampshire to stock up on glass and just knew that this particular piece of cranberry iridescent glass would be perfect for one of my students. After loading up the van and returning to campus, Johnson was met by the entire class at the door, willing to help unload and anxious to see the day's finds. "They were like kids in a candy store," laughs Johnson. "They all wanted me to open every box and to see every color. They were jumping up and down, they were so fired up. One student said it was like Christmas morning."
  
  Because different disciplines are suited to different students, Johnson and the rest of the art faculty are happy to offer another option to students wishing to pursue and artistic talent. If they don't have skills for photography, or painting, or pottery, they just might find their niche in glass.
  
  And clearly this is just the beginning. As the program grows and students continue to refine their art, there's no telling where this craft will take them. "We've have barely scratched the surface in design," remarks Johnson. "It's mind-boggling."
