42 | SEPTEMBER 16 • 2021 Jewish Community Center panel discussion on the reasons. He learned about people losing their heirlooms when coming to the United States so collecting contem- porary art became a source for family heirlooms and traditions. “I’m very fortunate because my sons still seem to listen to me sometimes,” Hampson said. “We have a great rela- tionship as we did when we worked together at the gallery. It’s been a very easy transition.” One artist newer to the gallery is Toland Sand, who works with laminated glass having colors centered on the inside. Sand has been focused on the optics of glass and was not tapped by Hampson because another artist’s works were completed in a similar style. The anniversary exhibit allows viewers to see how creative processes evolved from what can be done beyond blown glass by displaying the results of methods that feature cast, slumped, fused, flamed and laminated glass. “It has been a difficult time during the pandemic,” said Schey, who showed work digitally. “Now, for the glass art community, this is the cel- ebration of the year. It is a reunion of the artists fol- lowed by an opportunity for the public to see, in person, the latest work coming out of the glass community.” continued from page 41 “Persistence of Vision” by Joshua Hershman COURTESY OF HABATAT GALLERIES “GLASS HAS A SPECIAL CHARACTERISTIC OF HAVING AN INTERNAL WORLD AND AN EXTERNAL FORM, AND VERY FEW MATERIALS CAN DO THAT.” — FERDINAND HAMPSON ARTS&LIFE ART FISHER THEATRE BROADWAYINDETROIT.COM / 800-982-2787 & BOX OFFICE ON SALE NOW / NOVEMBER 2-14 On Star’s beautiful already low-priced trays $5 OFF Expires 10/31/2021.
