Paul Stankard Demonstration: Applying Paperweight Techniques to Borosilicate Glass

Join Paul Stankard, a 1963 graduate of Salem Community College’s (SCC) Scientific Glass Program, and Patty Clune, 2018 SCC Glass Art and Scientific Glass graduate, as they create an encapsulated borosilicate flower utilizing the techniques that Paul has developed and employed over the course of his 50+ career in crafting botanical paperweights in soda lime glass. Paul presents this demonstration as an opportunity for others to expand upon this technique and employ it as a part of their own process.
