Karnig Dabanian (American, 1922-2006) was a pioneer in the studio art glass movement. While attending the University of Michigan, he became fascinated with the science of glassmaking and studied under Dominick Labino at the Toledo Museum of Art in the early 1960s. He devised a method of making glass that looked like suspended smoke inside the glass.
Schiller also studied under Labino, having studied the craft and creating art glass for more than forty years. Please see the link below for a video of Schiller describing his process and showing a number of his pieces.
