Dwight Lanmon discusses Dominick Labino’s emphasis on glass compatibility. Oral history interview with Dwight Lanmon by Catherine Whalen and Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, August 5, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:42.

Dwight Lanmon: The one person who I think was vital was Nick Labino. Because Nick was a scientist who understood glass and I’m sure that he kept saying he kept drilling into them. You’ve got to make glass that’s compatible. And a lot of early pieces have broken—or crizzled and so forth because they were not compatible. So we’ve lost those, but I think Nick probably played a vital role—Glass Art Society played a vital role in that. Because they would have technical sessions as well as artistic sessions in their meetings.
