Josh Simpson Contemporary Glass | 413.625.6145 | joshsimpsonglass.com | June 25, 2024

Glass is an alchemic blend of sand and other minerals mined from the earth, combined with extraordinary, blinding heat. The resulting material flows like honey, with a transcendent inner light. These qualities make molten glass simultaneously one of the most fascinating and frustrating materials for an artist to work with. And that's what Josh loves about it!

Since the late 1970s, making planets has been a huge part of his work. It never gets old.

3" Planet Paperweights

Possibly Inhabited Planets

Heart Planets

Corona Vortex Planets

Dichroic Gravitrons

6" Megaplanets

Note: The studio will be closed June 29 - July 7 for summer break. Please feel free to shop online during that time; your purchases will be reserved and sent to you after we return.

Now at Salmon Falls Gallery:
Spectacular mosaics by artist Sam Myers, made from cut pieces of Josh Simpson's own New Mexico and Corona Glass. These gorgeous collaborative works, signed by both Josh and Sam, would be a unique acquisition for any Simpson collector. You can see more of this work by clicking here. Or maybe you'd like to visit the gallery itself, in Shelburne Falls, MA!

Josh is at it again, hiding Infinity Planets wherever he goes! For example, here in Scotland's Scone Palace in Perthshire...

This month's Infinity Project Participant is Jacob B., who plans to study abroad this fall in Rennes, France. He writes: "I will be doing a homestay with a host family, to be fully immersed in French culture, lifestyle, and language. Because this is my first time traveling abroad by myself, I am excited and a bit nervous. So, I would like to hide a planet with my host family so we can share a unique experience together."

Learn more about Josh's Infinity Project in this beautiful video. To apply to hide an Infinity Planet yourself, visit this page of our website.

COMING SOON!

Keep an eye out for our new book, "Hide One, Keep One: The Infinity Project of Glass Artist Josh Simpson," which chronicles - through photos and personal stories - the adventures of more than 200 Infinity Project participants. These "hiders," chosen from the nearly 10,000 applications received by Josh's studio since the start of the Infinity Project in 2000, share their experiences of placing Planets in a wide range of natural, historic, poignant, and personally meaningful locations around the world.
