Josh Simpson Art GlassJosh Simpson is a master glass artist who has been creating breathtaking art glass since the early 1970's. His works have included paperweights, vases, bowls, baskets and blown glass which replicates tektite meteor glass. However his most famous creations by far are his art glass planets. 
Josh began making blown glass planets in 1976 when he realized that the young, grade school students touring his studio were not particularly interested in traditional art glass but were very interested in marbles. Inspiration soon struck and it wasn't long before he began forming art glass planets which resembled marbles on a much grander scale. Depending on the particular design he refers to them as inhabited or possibly inhabited planets. Josh's glass planets range from the size of a golf ball all the way up to the size of a basketball! Of all the collectibles we highlight here at The Prudent Collector, Josh Simpson's glass planets are one of our absolute favorites. They are truly breathtaking to behold in person. Take some time to explore his creations that are available for sale below and we're sure that you will agree.
