Counties of Studios in Texas
The following pages include links to studio and college sites
as well as pages with notes and images taken during April 98
while traveling on a vacation trip to visit various glass sites
in Texas. The sites mentioned are in the counties shown in black
above.
This site, contemporary
glass in Texas discovered 2001-12-19 is very nice and has a lot of info on
glass people of all kinds around Texas. "As glass art collectors, my wife, Fran,
and I founded the site to be a central, easy-to-find source for the public to
get basic information about the glass art community in Texas. We are happy to
report to you that clearly people are looking. From December, 2002 through
today, our web host service records about 450,000 hits. Last month alone, there
were 56,757 hits. It's all voluntary on our part (we're a retired couple living
on Galveston Island). We pay the costs of maintaining the site. Artist listings
are free. Using the site is free. Our goal is to do what we can to help to
promote Texas glass art."

West 7th St., #252 Ft. Worth, TX 761007 "The vision of SiNaCa Studios School
of Glass, a not-for-profit corporation, is to design and build a state of
the art, environmentally responsible facility dedicated to educating a broad
cross-section of the community in all forms of art glass studio techniques.
Classes and workshops will be conducted by highly motivated and qualified
faculty and visiting artists. It will also provide studio and equipment
rental along with a public gallery to further involve the community." "SiNaCa
Studios would also like to introduce the principals involved in this
project.
Don Beck-President-Currently a Senior Lecturer with the Art Department of
the University of Texas at Arlington, Beck previously taught neon and
illuminated glass out of his studios in Chicago (’80-’85), Dallas’ Deep
Ellum (’85-‘88) and Las Vegas (’88-’92). He was also the Art Department’s
liaison with the contractors during the construction of the four year old
Studio Arts Center which incorporates six studio disciplines, including one
of the largest university glass departments in the country. His recent work
is primarily inter-disciplinary and plasma light sculpture.
Clifton Crofford-Treasurer Kevin McGehee-Vice President Mark
Alexander-Secretary are the owners of CMA Glassblowing, a private studio
currently located in Euless, TX. They have been in business since 2003. The
trio are all graduates of The University of Texas at Arlington. Crofford
received his degree in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on architecture,
theater and art. McGehee and Alexander received their BFA’s with a
concentration in art glass, both graduating with honors. CMA Glassblowing
has been involved with a major national department store, headquartered in
Dallas, TX, for the past three years in the design and execution of art
glass for various departments in twelve of their stores. Numerous galleries
in Texas, including Kitrell/Rifkind in Dallas, represent them.
Tim Todd-Executive Director- spent many years in the corporate world
owning a modeling agency and working as a human resources manager. After
leaving the private sector, he attended the University of Texas at Arlington
in their glass program. During his four years of study, his primary focus
was on kiln-formed glass. Soon after leaving UTA, he opened his working
studio, T2 Glass, in Fort Worth. He later relocated his studio to the
prominent Design District in Dallas, introducing his work to the various art
galleries. It was during this time that he was awarded his first prominent
commissions for Neiman Marcus and Art Ability. 2008-01-15

Mike, The glass equipment has been moved from the Tech
campus to Junction.
Glass should not be listed under Sculpture. It will be
offered in the future as a non-credit course/workshop.
You can contact Martha Richardson on the Junction campus
for information on classes. Her email is on our Junction
website. Best, sara waters
