My claim to fame!

I am the mother of Beth Lipman, the well known glass artist.

Beth graduated from Tyler School of Art with a art degree in both glass and fiber. She has truly made a mark for herself in the glass industry. She was Education Director at Urban Glass Studios in Brooklyn, NY. From there, she developed a glass studio for the Worcester Center of Crafts in MA, worked a the Wheaton Village Glass Center and is currently working at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, WI. All the while, Beth has secured grants and attended artists residencies to further her art career. She also teaches her art.

Recently, the Renwick Gallery in D.C. purchased the large table of glass. Tyler Schoool of Art is inducting Beth into the Gallery of Successful Graduates, an honor bestowed on two graduates per year.

Beth's next show opens September 6 at The Heller Gallery in New York City.
