We are proud to host this FREE public screening running concurrently with the PCA sponsored Art Glass Show and Exposition hosted at the Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick Hotel. Watch the film and then see the art first-hand at this free public event!
Funded in part by PCA grants, Paul J. Stankard: Flower & Flame, is the latest documentary from award-winning filmmaker Daniel R. Collins, celebrates the life’s work of internationally acclaimed glass artist Paul J. Stankard. Inspired by his rural childhood memories, Paul evolved the centuries-old craft tradition of the glass paperweight into a fine art form, battling dyslexia and defying critics on his way to international fame. For more than 60 years, Paul has honed his skills in Southern NJ, the historic epicenter of American glassmaking. Now in his 80th year, he is still creating some of the best work of his career.
Since January, the film has thrilled hundreds of viewers at packed regional venues including the Morris Museum (Morristown, NJ 1/31/24), Perkins Center for the Arts (Collingswood, NJ 2/24/24) and Salem Community College’s International Flameworking Conference (Carney’s Point, NJ 3/15/24) Plans for national distribution are ongoing and will be updated on the film’s official website as they develop.
