Yaffa Sikorsky-Todd talks with Barb Elam about women in the glass profession. Oral history interview with Yaffa Sikorsky-Todd by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, October 5, 2016, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:40.

Barb Elam: And were there other women, then, in the profession around that time that you knew or were you really kind of the only one?

Yaffa Sikorsky-Todd: I don’t think I knew any women per se—cause I was also—I was in and out of this area for a while. I taught at Goddard College [Goddard College, Plainfield, Vermont] for a semester, and then I travelled different places. I built the first facility they had at Artpark [Artpark, Lewiston, NY], the place in upstate New York. This was all, you know, in the days that there weren’t many women doing it. So I don’t think I really, I don’t think I knew women. The thing is when I taught at Penland later—my husband and I taught together—then we had lots more women.
