Biography
Maurice Heaton was born in 1900 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, to English parents.[2] His father and grandfather were glass artists.[4] In 1914 during World War I, his family moved to New York state, and by 1919 the family settled in Valley Cottage, New York which was a rural area at the time.[3][6]
Heaton attended the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he studied engineering.[6] After leaving college he worked under his father Clement Heaton, as a stained-glass artist assistant.[4][6]
He had invented a process in 1947 for creating glassware in the studio furnace, and was later part of the 1960s studio glass movement.[7] His glass studio was in Valley Cottage, New York; it experienced three major fires in 1974, in 1981, and the last fire being in 1988.[4] It took him a year and a half to rebuild his glass studio after the 1988 fire,[8] shortly before his death in April 6, 1990.[1]
Heaton's artwork can be found in museum collections, including at the Brooklyn Museum,[9] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[10] Museum of Arts and Design,[11] the Corning Museum of Glass, the Art Institute of Chicago,[12] and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[7]
