Following Duane’s retirement (from being a research chemist) in 1994, he and his wife, Lee, moved to what had been their vacation property in the Lexington area.  He had always been interested in working with glass and had the opportunity to learn the basics under Margaret Carroll (Nutmeg Glass) in Lexington.

Watson is especially interested in making “frame-able” glass for either stand-alone (i.e. fireplace screens) or hanging pieces, depicting either scenery or those of a strictly linear or geometric design.
