'     '          Harvey Littleton is the founder of the
                 Studio Glass Movement. It was a long time
                 founding: a generation passed between concep-
tion and birth.The first object we can associate with Studio
Glass is female: a nude torso made in 1942 by Littleton....
Finally, the baby dropped: near the center of America, in Ohio,
in 1962, at the Toledo Museum of Art workshops (widely cited
as the founding event of Studio Glass) led by Littleton."
