Women in Glass-
Women have played an important role in glassmaking history. The following is a brief overview of the ways in which women have worked with glass before 1950, as documented in articles, books, and original materials from the Rakow Research Library of The Corning Museum of Glass.
Ginny Ruffner investigated the gender gap in the glass field in the late 1980s and published an article in American Craft. Thomas Buechner, founding director of The Corning Museum of Glass, commented: “From the beginning of the history of the studio glass movement, some of the most powerful figures in the field have been women. They came on strong early in the game. As a matter of fact, glass is one of the rare fields I don’t think of as predominately male or female.” Susanne Frantz, curator at Corning at that time, commented: “Women helped make slumping, fusing , painting on glass, and pâte de verre more prevalent. By developing these techniques as alternatives to blowing, they have given women coming into the field more options.” The women working with glass prior to 1950 provided the ladder for the accomplishments of those who entered the field after that date.
