Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Luebtow: Perfect Investigations of Beauty and Abstraction
Q: So how and why were you inspired by Friedrich Froebel, and who are some of the successful artists who followed his teachings?
Froebel's kindergarten concept was foundational, guiding his use of geometric forms and the paper-weaving play that seeded his sense of structure, movement, and the relationship between line and plane. He traces connections from kindergarten to Bauhaus and notes the way early teachers like Kandinsky and Klee also engaged with these ideas, shaping his lifelong appreciation for play and intuitive design in his art.
C. Matthew Szösz: Traversing Unpredicted Landscapes
Q: How did you get comfortable with failure?
Failure is embraced as a signal of learning; many works fail or are left unfinished, but each attempt yields information that guides future directions and strengthens the craft.
C. Matthew Szösz: Traversing Unpredicted Landscapes
Q: So Matthew, what have been the most important discoveries in your experimentations with glass?
The key realization is that glass is essentially a tool for exploration: the material and the ideas about it can be endlessly combined, with the process and learning being more critical than any single outcome.
Cedric Mitchell: At the Intersection of Craft, Design and Culture
Q: Tell us a little bit about Joe Cariotti and why you wanted to work with him?
Mitchell cites Joe Cariati as a mentor whose approach to practice and technique—particularly clean forms and mid-century modern aesthetics mixed with Venetian glassblowing—influenced his own path, and he values the cross-pollination of ideas and business mindset they shared.
Davide Salvadore: Keeping Murano at the Heart of the International Glass Community
Q: How did your move from traditional production to sculptural work begin?
It began when mentors encouraged him to focus on glass as a see-and-experience art form rather than mere production, guiding him toward a more expressive, sculptural practice.
