MAURICE HEATON
Born in Switzerland to a family of English glassmakers, artist Maurice Heaton (1900–1990) moved to New York State with his family in 1914.
He studied engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey before beginning to work with his father, a stained-glass artist, on window commissions. Heaton struck out on his own during the Depression, earning recognition for his lighting fixtures, tableware, murals, and panels. He is known for creating designs in glazes and powdered enamels on flat glass that he slumped in iron molds of his own making..
Maurice Heaton’s work is in the permanent collections of in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Corning Museum, and the Museum of Art and Design...Heaton's work spans seven decades, and through his unique range of murals, window hangings, lighting fixtures and tableware, he is considered by many a "true original" (Neues Glas, April 1985).
