University of Montana Western Offers Scientific Glassblowing program

Michael Souza Takes Scientific Glassblowing to New Heights

Michael Souza, an expert scientific glassblower at Princeton University, gave a public lecture and demonstration to the campus and community in the Emerick Art Studio which houses the University of Montana Western’s Glassblowing program.

At Princeton, Souza is the university’s only scientific glassblower and is widely recognized as the nation’s top expert in the field. He creates highly complex glassware and instrumentation that furthers scientific research for almost all research groups on campus, as well as contributing components for research projects conducted across the globe.

On Montana Western, Souza felt that the facilities for the glass courses were "an amazing place," and that the Experience One program facilitates artistic and technical breakthroughs for students, which he felt "is what makes learning great."
