His works have been exhibited widely and are in the collections of several museums including the Chrysler Museum of Art (Norfolk, Virginia), the Corning Museum of Glass (Corning, NY), and the Detroit Institute of Arts (Michigan). Biography: Steven Maslach is a prolific glass artist - a San Francisco native who took part in the Bay Area glass movement. He studied under Marvin Lipofsky and Sam Herman while attending CCA when it was the California College of Arts and Crafts. This movement helped initiate the recognition of glass as a fine art. As a master glass sculptor, Maslach has focused his investigation of the medium in designing a personal technique for crucible cast glass. He uses a variety of molds, with sand molds as a particular preference to achieve rich textural finishes. He has lectured widely as a highly sought-after expert in the field, and is an active board member of the Glass Art Society and American Crafts Council. Maslach?s work is part of very distinguished collections including the Smithsonian, Corning Museum of Glass - NY, Oakland Museum of Art, and American Craft Museum - NY, among many others."
