Special Guest: Higgins Glass
Jonathan & Louise Wimmer
The Higgins Studio, home of “modern miracles with everyday glass” was founded in 1948 by Michael and Frances Higgins. Regarded as pioneers in the Studio glass movement, the couple rediscovered and refined the ancient, lost art of glass fusing. Their unique creations were a mainstay in the 1950’s and ‘60’s at such prestigious retailers as Marshall Fields, Georg Jenson, and Bullock’s Wilshire.
The Higgins Glass tradition continues today under the ownership of long-time Studio designers Louise and Jonathan Wimmer. Under their artistic direction and with fused glass techniques learned directly from Michael and Frances Higgins, the Studio continues to produce outstanding, one-of-a-kind handcrafted art.
Back by popular demand, the Higgins Studio returns to 20th Century Cincinnati as our 2010 Special Guest. “Modern miracles with everyday glass” lives on.
