Luminous Impressions
(DOCUMENTARY - 25 minutes, 14 seconds)
Stuart Grasberg 

Best known as the "Father of American Studio Glass," Harvey Littleton is considered to be the first to view glass as "art" rather than a functional object.  This film explores how Littleton's latest discovery, the process of using plates made of glass instead of metal, wood or stone, is reviving the market for limited fine art prints.  Littleton has become an evangelist of sorts for this new printmaking process just as he was for the studio glass movement.
