| Stanley G Elfbaum Art Enamels Glass on Glass |
In addition to holding a Ph.D. in physical bio-
chemistry from Northwestern University in Evanston,
Illinois, the artist has studied art at the Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston, MA; the Massachusetts College of
Arts, Boston, MA; the Decordova Museum School,
Lincoln, Ma; the Summervail Art Workshop,
Colorado Mountain College, Miniturn, Colorado;
and Hot Glass Horizons Workshops, Corning, NY and
Portland, Oregon.
His enameling and hot glass experiences
encompass approximately thirty years. During this
time, he has exhibited at the Decordova Museum,
the Worcester Craft Center, Brookfield Craft
Center, and the Carnegie arts Center (Covington,
Kentucky). He was commissioned to enamel a large
scale menorah on steel which is on permanent
exhibition at Temple Klal Yisrael in Sharon, MA. He is
represented in shops in West Roxbury, Ma and
Provincetown, Ma. He is a past member of the
Rockhill Crafts Co-op, Foxboro, MA. In addition, he is
a member of the Enamelist Society and a past
director of the Northeast Enamelists Guild.
Artist’s statement:
I have been enameling onto copper, steel, and
silver for 30 years. In the past 15 years, I have
developed my expression through fusing and
slumping glass. As my personal contribution to
environmental concerns, I very often will rescue
discarded windows, doors, and large pieces of glass
and fashion them into plates, jewelry and objects d’
art. Each piece is individually and lovingly
handcrafted and I hope each recipient derives as
much pleasure in possessing it as I have had in
designing and crafting it.
