Joe Mattson, self-taught glass artist, began working in glass in
1976.
Joe demonstrates century-old glass
blowing techniques on a daily basis at WheatonArts. In his free time, he
likes to experiment with different styles of work. The shapes,
forms and patterns he crafts in glass are reminiscent of the nouveau
glass from the early 1900s. Mattson’s glass is primarily
one-of-a-kind pieces he calls contemporary traditional glass.
Joe has exhibited with the Delaware Museum of Art, Delaware; the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; Smithsonian, Washington D.C.; Newark Museum of Art, New Jersey; and the Museum of American Glass at WheatonArts, Millville, NJ.
