Jay Musler discusses buying glass. Oral history interview with Jay Musler by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, September 5, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:52.

Jay Musler: Well, most of the glass I use is regular window glass, you know? And so I would go down to the local glass window place, and buy all kinds of plate glass. Take it back to my studio and cut it up, sandblast it, and paint it. Also, I use a lot of borosilicate glass, which is already made. You buy it in wads and tubes, and I can manipulate that into shapes and forms, and put everything together and make stuff. But that’s just—seems like a natural progression.
