20 North
Gallery Presents Toledo Artist Tom McGlauchlin
Exhibiting New Works by a Pioneer in the
Studio Glass Movement
Beginning Friday, March 6th,
20 North Gallery will present new works by Tom
McGlauchlin, a pioneer in the Studio Glass
Movement, at their opening reception from 6 –
9p.m. The exhibit will continue through
Saturday, April 25th, 2009.
Artist Tom McGlauchlin is one of the leading
figures in the Studio Glass Movement from its
founding workshops at the Toledo Museum of Art
in 1962 until the present day. His work is
included innumerous permanent collections in
national and international institutions
throughout the world, from the Toledo Museum of
Art in Ohio to the Corning Glass Museum in New
York to The National Museum of Modern Art in
Kyoto, Japan.
Fellow Toledo resident and ceramicist Edith
Franklin states, “Tom is not only a dear friend,
but also a wonderful, creative thinker whose
work I have always admired. I’ve known him since
the first Studio Glass Workshop and I am always
amazed by his willingness to try new media and
new techniques, like his recent work in digital
graphics.” McGlauchlin’s graphic work has since
been widely exhibited and frequently appears in
conjunction with other art groups’ events—for
several years he has designed the image used for
the Jazz Society’s Art Tatum Festival in Toledo.
Fellow glass blower and member of the Glass Arts
Society Jack Schmidt states, “Tom McGlauchlin is
the single most important glass artist in Toledo
and a major player on the national and
international scene. His understanding of this
material and the maturity of the concepts
conveyed is a welcome contribution to the
contemporary glass movement as well as the arts
in general. I can’t wait to see what he is up to
next…”
20 North Gallery is proud to present Tom
McGlauchlin’s newest glass art and innovative
works of cast paper at this exhibit highlighting
the history of the Studio Glass Movement and
McGlauchlin as one of its leaders from the
mid-20th century to today.
20 North Gallery and Tom McGlauchlin will be
welcoming friends and collectors at the free
Opening Reception on Friday, March 6th, from 6 -
9p.m at 20 North Gallery. Also showing will be
