Tyler’s highly selective MFA in Glass program, marking its 50th year in 2023, is defined by a commitment to cultivating each graduate student’s unique voice, with glass as only one of many modes of expression. Students explore the intersections of glass, sculpture, installation, video, performance, culture, making and criticism – an approach that has helped create one of the most tight-knit alumni communities in the discipline.

MFA Glass students learn in an intensive practice setting with a diverse and highly accomplished faculty. The 60-credit curriculum comprises studio work, research, and seminars, and students participate in peer reviews with other disciplines. Visiting artists regularly give lectures and demonstrations and critique student work, widening students’ artistic network. Interaction among MFAs and undergraduates in the shop and the studio strengthens graduate students’ teaching experience and has led to the program’s strong track record of placing alumni in faculty positions across the country and internationally. 

In 1978, Jeff Lindsay debuted his line of hand crafted shears at the Glass Art Society Conference. Since then, at his shop in Chico, California, Jeff’s been crafting high quality tools (Cutting Edge Products) and producing an extensive range of architectural metal-work (Red Hot Metal). Consistently innovative, Jeff was the first in the industry to introduce shear blades made of D2, a metal that stays sharper longer, outperforms the others, and lasts and lasts. Cutting Edge shears are heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. Never complacent, always on the cutting edge, Jeff consults with artists to perfect the design and function of his shears. Jeff’s line of precision shears runs the gamut from delicate blades to large sculpting shears, shears for soft and hard glass artists, and shears for those that benefit from a smaller handle. Plus, a lifetime guarantee and superb customer service – the cherry on top!
