Josh Simpson's glass platters, vessels and sculptures are celebrated internationally for their extraordinary, complex beauty. His imaginary landscapes of the seas, skies and heavens are compelling and enigmatic. They are also technical feats without parallel. This book steps inside Simpson's studio and provides an intimate look at the inspirations, experiences and techniques Simpson uses to create his wondrous glass worlds. Readers will witness first-hand the drama of hot glass processes and learn many of the small technical secrets that elevate his art beyond the ordinary. Dazzling photographs of Simpson's work complement this behind-the-scenes glimpse into his creative genius.
Josh Simpson: Glass Artist Reviews
-
I came across one of Josh Simson's megaplanets a few weeks ago at the Peabody Essex Museum and was completely taken with it, so I bought this book in the museum gift shop. The pictures can't quite do the work justice but I enjoyed the photography, and I enjoyed the two sections of the book, learning about both the artist and the process. I love that the artist gives out miniplanets for Halloween treats - makes me wish I was young enough to go trick-or-treating one more time.
