Want to hear more from the artists? CMoG's Rakow Research Library offers a robust Oral History initiative, making the first-person accounts of many artists from this period available to the public. The living archive will feature oral histories, interviews, video, photography, archival ephemera, and more, holding a record of these artists’ voices transmitting their own histories to future generations of glassmakers and glass enthusiasts. Oral histories become available starting summer of 2026. Learn more: https://info.cmog.org/library
