Hello Lightning Tamers!
This is episode number 40, and in today’s podcast I’ll be joined by Pittsburgh Based – Glass Artist, Zach Layhew to read and review an 1990 Glass Focus Interview of Paul Seide. We talk about what Glass Focus was, and hear about the founder and Glass Collector, Beverly Copeland. |
Seide mastered his craft at the Egani Neon Glassblowing School in the Harlem section of Manhattan. The school was established in 1930. In its heyday it had been known as “the school for neon.” By the time Seide enrolled the school was getting ready to close its doors. He was in fact, the last student in the facility, the only student in the class. Seide says “lt was me and 50 empty benches!”
