Hello Glassman,


Stuart Abelman’s Art Glass Studio is located in Van Nuys, California.
I located two listings for his studio:

Stuart Abelman’s glass pieces are shown in galleries and museums
around the world and have become permanent additions to museum,
private and celebrity collections in the United States and overseas.

“Recently, he designed an angel ornament for the White House Christmas
tree. He has done glass commissions for the movie industry, and has
pieces documented in the Library of Congress.”

Each Abelman Art Glass piece is signed, numbered, and dated at the
Abelman Art Glass Studio.

You can see eight sculptures made by Stuart Abelman at the Art for
Wildlife Galleries Website.

Background

Stuart Abelman “received a bachelor of Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon
University, and followed that up with a Master of Fine Arts from UCLA.
While in his last year at UCLA, Abelman was asked by El Camino College
to run the glass blowing department. As the head of the department, he
also developed a stained glass program for the school.”

“The Abelman Art Glass studio opened in Southern California in 1977.
Stuart spent the better part of the first year building furnaces and
all other essential glass blowing equipment. The artist uses all his
own formulas for the purest quality glass in his exceptional work.
Abelman’s most notable accomplishments include pieces in the permanent
collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, an angel
ornament for the White House tree, and chandeliers for the House of
Blues. One of his ornaments appeared on the cover of Sunset Magazine.
Stuart has done numerous commissions for the film and television
industry.”
