During these select days, watch artists in residence, Boyd Sugiki and Lisa Zerkowitz, work with our glass artisans in the Greenfield Village Glass Shop.
Boyd Sugiki and Lisa Zerkowitz began blowing glass together at Rhode Island School of Design in 1995. Together they own a studio in Seattle where they design and produce a line of studio glass collaboratively under the name Two Tone Studios. They have taught workshops and completed residencies at institutions such as The Studio of Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Craft and Pittsburgh Glass Center.
They have lectured and demonstrated at universities throughout the U.S. and Japan, as well as in Korea, Australia, Ireland, Turkey and Finland. In 2020 they relocated to Toyama, Japan, where Sugiki took on a four-year temporary contract as Associate Professor of Hot Glass at the Toyama Institute of Glass Art.
