Paul J. Stankard is an internationally acclaimed artist and pioneer in the studio glass movement. His lifelike, nature-based glassworks have changed the paperweight world over his forty-year artistic career. Having begun his career working in scientific glassblowing, it was through this industry that he found creativity and learned that he was indeed an artist.
He is now the subject of a new documentary by Director Dan Collins, “Paul J. Stankard: Flower & Flame” set to screen at the Perkins Center for the Arts in Collingswood on February 24, 2024.
Jersey Arts speaks to Paul J. Stankard and Dan Collins about their new film and the work it takes to create both glass and film.
