Josh Simpson Contemporary Glass | 413.625.6145 | joshsimpsonglass.com | November 28, 2025

Josh with a lunar glass test sphere, made for a NASA "Innovative Advanced Concepts" project.

Simpson Lunar Pendants

Lunar Pendants are an artistic extension of Josh’s NASA-grant research into how silica-rich regolith, i.e. lunar soil, might one day be used to create blown-glass structures on the Moon.

Sparked by this research, Josh purchased his own simulant regolith and transformed it into a form of molten moon dust. He shaped this into jewel-like pendants, each with a splash of 24-carat gold leaf. Every Lunar Pendant evokes sunlight glinting on the surface of the Moon in the deep black of space: an inspired fusion of science and art.

We have somehow succumbed to Black Friday...

This month's Infinity Project Participant is Heather L. of New Hartford, NY.

Heather plans to hide her Planet near a special stream in the Adirondack Mountains, where she can return and visit it sometime (if no one else finds it before then). She has summited all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks and now keeps climbing them simply because this is where she remembers who she is and how connected we all are to nature and to each other.

Learn more about the Infinity Project in this video.

Check out this nice article about museum gift shops, featuring the impressive Corning Museum of Glass shop! The piece features two beautiful photos of Josh's work on display, and also points out that the shop features "one-of-a-kind works by some of the biggest names in art glass (Simpson, Stankard, and Chihuly among them)." Love it!!

And, on the subject of the Corning Museum of Glass... we were so pleased that Hugh McHarg, the Director of the Museum's preeminent Rakow Library, trekked all the way from Corning, NY, to Shelburne, driving a huge truck! He came to pick up a trove of Josh's business records dating back to the 1970s. Who on Earth keeps all that stuff for 50 years? Josh, of course! These 125 boxes (so far) will be catalogued and permanently stored for historical reseach into Josh's story and his role in the American studio glass movement. (Might also become a great research project and treasure trove for the Internal Revenue Service.)
