2018 a typical year
New works. Collected works. New adventures. Some disappointments. And new directions. An engaging recall of Harry’s 2018 studio time.

Pollitt’s unsurpassable Artist Residency at Buffalo Creek
My unsurpassable Artist Residency at Buffalo Creek Art Center in Nevada last summer spoiled me forever! Come take a peek of my six-week home on the 34-acre property snuggled against the Sierra Nevada mountains, squirreled away in comfy accommodations, working uninterrupted in a fabulous sculpture studio. And tell me if you think I did good work.
E-Ride
Climbing right turns. Tumbling loops. Outside banking descents. It’s a Pollitt Small Treasure called E-Ride. It’s a roller coaster path in kiln cast, fuchsia-colored glass.
Green Piece
Pollitt Small Treasures is joined by Green Piece, an undulating, sweeping 1′-2″ high x 4″ diameter glass sculpture. Complexity of the design is simplified by a seldom-used Pollitt medium polish finish. Its kiln cast color is emerald green.
Fantasia
Gentle curves in pale copper blue glass twist unexpectedly – and thus define sculptor Harry Pollitt’s distinctive style. Named Fantasia, the 1′-3″ sculpture joins the Pollitt Small Treasures ensemble.
Captiva
Dichroic glass is expected to change color in different light. Captiva, a new sculpture by Harry Pollitt, even surprised the artist with its dramatic color change. Come see his Surprising Small Treasure.
Small Treasures. Simpler complexity.
Smaller Harry Pollitt sculptures. Smaller, but still complex. Complex, but not too complicated. Curvaceous, but not too many intersections. Introducing the new, but not unfamiliar style of Pollitt Studio Small Treasures.

Zest
Zest This piece was inspired by my first-ever wood and glass sculpture, Genesis. The inner section was a wood sculpture. I liked the minimalized surface areas and structure. But since I never duplicate a piece, I modified the design and had a go at it in glass. I did enjoy this adventure of creating what …
What’s Math Got To Do With It?
What’s Math Got To Do With It? was inspired by Pinnacle. It started out simple enough, a top-down approach. Do that spire on top. Then get the flow just right.
Bashert
Harry Pollitt’s latest sculpture is aptly named, Bashert. Improbable events and unexpected results surround the story of this kiln cast glass sculpture. The best explanation is that it was “meant to be.” Come read why.
