Paul Stankard discusses Gary Beecham’s lecture at his Penland flameworking workshop. Oral history interview with Paul Stankard, March 22, 2018, Stankard Studio, Mantua, New Jersey. Clip length: 00:51.

Paul Stankard: Gary Beecham had a fascinating history of glass, and he and Paul really got into it. Gary went over to work in Austria. He was a maker and he did beautiful work. Gary gave a presentation. Paul did. Then we had a panel discussion, or just—I brought in Harvey Littleton. And interestingly enough, I loved learning. And I invited Harvey. And they knew who I—they knew me: ‘This paperweight maker is doing really interesting work. How does he do it?’ [laughs] So, I asked Harvey if he could come over and be in our little group and we had about 35 people at that workshop.
