Herb Babcock, a sculptor working in glass, metal, stone, and other materials. He is Professor Emeritus from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, where he was Chair of the Glass Department for 40 years until 2013.
Activity Description
This special guest lecture by Herb Babcock expands on the themes of the "Infinite Variety: Selections from the UM-Dearborn Glass Collection" exhibition. The lecture will discuss the American Studio Glass Movement, which began in the early 1960s with Harvey Littleton's efforts to make glass blowing a creative experience for artists in small studios. This movement transformed glass from a factory-made product into an independent art form, often attracting artists who previously worked in other mediums. The lecture will also cover the international influences that assisted artists as the movement grew.
