Wheaton
Village Fellowship
Sewn Glass Included in American
Glass Museum and Carnegie Museum of Art
Awarded a six week Fellowship at Wheaton Village,
Susan Taylor Glasgow departed for Millville, NJ in September of 2003.
Winning
a stipend and studio space, Taylor Glasgow used the opportunity to
experiment with new techniques and ideas "left on the back
burner". One of these "back burner" projects was Taylor Glasgow's
"Secretly Sexy Toaster Cozy", that was developed and completed during
the Fellowship. (Click on the Sewn Glass
button for a look at similar work in the Toaster Cozy series!)
Artists were selected from applications received world wide.
Taylor Glasgow's "Toaster Cozy" is included in the American Glass
Museum collection. An important part of Wheaton Village, the
American Glass Museum showcases both the historic development of the
glass industry and contemporary glass artists.
On her birthday in September 2004, Susan Taylor Glasgow
received a call from Heller Gallery congratulating her on a piece
placed by the gallery into the permanent collection of the Carnegie
Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA. The work selected is a sewn
glass coffee pot titled "Everything is Perfect". (Click on the Sewn Glass button for a look at similar
work in the Coffee Pot series.)

Pilchuck
Emerging Artist Grant 2002, Scholarship 2003
Glass artist Susan Taylor Glasgow was
awarded a two month
residency at Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, WA, from
September-November
of 2002. One of six international artists to be included in the
fall
residency, Taylor Glasgow won a stipend and studio space at the
prestigious
school for intensive research and development of new work. Expressing
a desire to "work larger", Taylor Glasgow was given access to
Pilchuck's
extensive list of equipment and research materials to create large Sewn
Glass vessels and sculpture. "This experience was pivotal to my
career,"
the artist describes. "The opportunity to work with world class
equipment
and be surrounded by other professional glass artists was both
nurturing
and inspirational." One of the pieces Taylor Glasgow completed
during
her residency was "I'm so Lucky", a 24 inch tall Sewn Glass vessel, now
in the home of a Birmingham, Alabama collector. In May of 2003,
Taylor
Glasgow returned to Pilchuck for a three-week scholarship to study
with
architectural glass artist Warren Langley.
