Last week, I had the good fortune to meet up with my long-time friend and hero, Harvey Littleton. He and his lovely wife for 61 years, Beth invited me to a wonderful barbeque place, close to his home and gallery in Fort. Pierce, Florida. His home, during the winter months, overlooks the river and on clear days you can see as far as 27 miles away, so you actually have a great view of the ocean.
Naturally, we spent lots of time talking about glass art, something we are both passionate about and mutual friends such as famous German flameworker, the late Kurt Wallstab. We started reminiscing about the old days and how both our fathers got us into the direction of glass. Harvey’s father, as many of you may know, was a glass scientist at Corning and my father a Controller at Schott Glass in Mainz.
Harvey has been an inspiration to me and so many of us and I hope to have him around for many more years to come.

hello Mr Frabel! I sent you an e mail a while ago I think from your website but got no reply and now I came across this while searching for Mr Littleton as I am an alum of Penn and wanted to track him down! I am from India and travel to the States fairly often and am very keen to explore glass art. I started off with glass blowing but since it's a bit physical, moved to flame working. Through Venetian magazines and other sources, I have discovered glass schools and well respected artists in the field, you being one of them! I wanted to know whether you can recommend a well established glass studio in Philly? Or perhaps you could suggest places to visit that would give me the right exposure? Thanks
