Brady accepts the fact that the art glass industry is enormously competitive but wastes no time bemoaning the cheap goods that are coming out of Asia. “I think that is the best thing that has happened in the modern glass industry. For a long time, glass artists just coasted by on the wings of a couple of good innovators. Now we can’t do that. I think this is a great time for people going into the glass industry, because there is a true renaissance, an explosion of glass innovators around the world, and the environment demands that artists be creative.”
