Debbie Tarsitano: The Studio at The Corning Museum of Glass opened up this whole world for me. It’s like a—it’s the most extraordinary place on the planet for glass. And everybody comes there; it’s like the Mecca. And you can do whatever you want; they have every piece of equipment possible; they have every help possible. People come from all over the world, so you could be standing there and there’s somebody from the Middle East there working on something next to you, and it’s like—it’s just an extraordinary place. And I saw the freedom of being able to make anything that you wanted, and like, that was supposed to be good there.
