Richard Marquis, one of the pioneers of the American studio glass movement, will present the Ninth Annual Page Hazlegrove Lecture on Glass Art on Tuesday, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. in Wong Auditorium.
Marquis, from Whidbey Island, Wash., was one of the first American artists to work in the fabled Venini studio in Venice, Italy, where he traveled after receiving a Fulbright-Hayes Fellowship. He has shared this knowledge and expertise throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, expanding technical vocabularies, combining Venetian techniques with new and experimental approaches, and redefining glass as an artistic medium.
