Randall Grubb talks about how tiny Paul Stankard’s flameworked elements actually are. Oral history interview with Randall Grubb by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, January 24, 2020, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:54.

Randall Grubb: Paul came from the scientific glassworking world, where you use Pyrex. And you hold, you know, a little bit of Pyrex, you know—half a pound of Pyrex in each hand, and you weld it together, and you make these fabulous scientific instruments out of it. Or, you know, Paul’s, you know, making these little tiny flowers, these little flower bouquets that we would make, the daisy is the size of your thumbnail. This is micro, little tiny stuff. Each petal is, you know, imagine, you know, a 25 petal daisy that fits on your thumbnail. Those are little tiny—each petal is teeny. And—very, very micro work. And then you take the top and bottom gathers that we would encase the lampwork with, it was a 400 gram top and a 150 gram bottom. So, you know, it wasn’t even two pounds of glass.
