"How many of today's glass artists utilize this unique physical quality of glass in creating their works? Only a few. But it is almost always the paperweight artists who, by fully exhausting all the fantastic qualities of glass, form their works just as they concieve them as artists. Not the other way around, with the glass determining how well the 'work of art' succeeds. That would scarcely be art, but rather chance."
