Footnote 
Sam Herman was an American British artist who is regarded as one of the pioneering figures of the studio glass movement in Britain in the late 60s and 70s. Herman studied at the University of Wisconsin under Harvey Littleton. Co-creator of the small tank furnace, Littleton experimented with glass that melted at lower temperatures and created new tools allowing for greater expression between maker and material. It was under these conditions and Littleton’s tutorship that Herman’s groundbreaking techniques for sculpting glass flourished. After graduating, Herman accepted a scholarship at the Edinburgh College of Art, before proceeding to tour an exhibition of his works along with fellow Wisconsin alumni, introducing his revolutionary new techniques to universities across the UK. Herman went onto head the Glass Department at the Royal College of Art from 1967-1974.
