History Of Joe Rice Art Glass Maker:
Joe Rice is the great-grandson of John St. Clair a
glassworker who immigrated to Indiana from Alsance-
Lorraine, France.
The discovery of abundant natural gas in 1887 and the availability of sand in
central Indiana made Elwood a thriving center for the glass industry. Many
European glassworkers like John St. Clair came to Elwood to work in the new
glass houses.
John St. Clair passed the craft on to his son John B. (Pop) St. Clair. Pop began
working for the MacBeth-Evans Glass Company in Elwood where he discovered
his passion for making paperweights. Pop often worked after hours perfecting his
craft, which he taught his five sons. By 1937 the MacBeth-Evans plant closed and
Pop and two of his sons went to work at a glass house in West Virginia. In 1938
Pop?s son Joe started St. Clair Glass and was joined by Pop and his brothers Bob
and Paul three years later. By the age of 16, Joe Rice?s uncles Joe and Bob had
taught him the craft of making paperweights, which made Joe the youngest
paperweight artist in the country.
In the 1930s and 1940s hand-crafted glass paperweights and vases were
considered novelty items. It was not until the late middle of the Twentieth Century
that the studio glass movement created an interest in glass as an art form by
collectors. Early pioneers like Dale Chihuly and Harvey Littletons inspirational art
glass brought the craft as an art form to new levels. Today, master gaffer Joe Rice
continues the St. Clair tradition with The House of Glass in Elwood, Indiana which
Joe�s uncle Bob originally operated as the St. Clair House of Glass. Tom St. Clair
is also continuing the family tradition in nearby Anderson, Indiana with Tom St.
Clair Studio Glass.
Joe Rice glass making process is essentially the same that his uncles and
grandfather created using a five-member team. The process starts by taking time
to mix their crystal batch for 3 � hours using a cement mixer. The ingredients for
the glass batch are silica sand, limestone, sodium ash, and feldspar. The batch is
placed into the furnace for 24 hours at about 2600 degrees. For color Joe uses
cullet form the nearby Kokomo Opalescence Glass Company. The cullet is ground
and screened in 350-lb units and used for decorating his art glass. Many of the
tools used by Joe Rices team were made by his uncles or were made at the old
MacBeth-Evans Blacksmith shop in the 1920s.
Three generations of Joe Rice’s family have built glass in Elwood, Indiana.
Joe Rice continues to work in his grandfather John
St Clair’s style, which is highly collectible. With his
crew, Rice produces distinctive floral pattern
paperweights in his factory, The House of Glass.
