With five decades of knowledge and invention behind him, Josh Simpson still manages to retain the joy of creating with glass. He is currently known for his Planets, which he creates in sizes from a few inches to large Megaplanets, and provides many of the smaller ones as treasures to be hidden in obscure places and discovered later.
