Mark Peiser: The Work Behind the Work | Cressman Center 

March 7 - May 9, 2025

Curated by Dr. Alysia Fischer, this exhibition offers a rare and intimate look into the creative process of renowned glass artist Mark Peiser. 

Showcasing the depth of Peiser’s technical mastery and artistic vision, The Work Behind the Work offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the evolution of his work from concept to completion. Many of the objects on display, including preparatory sketches, molds, and models of imagined or completed work, have never been exhibited before, shedding new light on the artist’s meticulous approach to glassmaking.
