The Glass Ribbon Project Team
Gary Rosenthal
Gary Rosenthal has been creating artwork and doing good with his studio since the early 1970’s. Specializing in Judaica, he and his team combine mixed metals with brilliant fused glass, inspired by the Jewish tradition that tells us it’s a blessing – a mitzvah – to make beautiful, functional, art.
Work from the collection has been presented to presidents, celebrities, organizations, and individuals around the world. It can been seen worldwide in many fine galleries, private collections, and museum shops.
The Glass Ribbon Project embodies Gary’s desire to use his artwork to do good – something he has been using his business to do for many years. He is well known in the Jewish community for his work through The Hiddur Mitzvah Project that allows people of all ages to create heirloom objects, raise funds for their causes, and bring communities together.
