2015 Visionary Award RecipientToots Zynsky, Visionary in Glass

Toots Zynsky’s distinctive heat-formed filet de verre (glass

thread) sculptural vessels defy categorization. Her pieces

decorative arts and are represented in museum and private

collections throughout the world, including the Smithsonian

American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery.

The Visionary Award, instituted by the Smithsonian Craft Show in 2014, is presented to artists who have risen to the pinnacle in the world of sculptural arts and design, who have works in major museums and who have demonstrated distinction, creativity, artistry and, of course, vision in their respective medium.
