There is a wonderful article in the Reading Public Museum website about 

the animals that my friend Will Dexter of Taylor Backes Studio has been
making.

The exhibit runs from September 29, 2012 - January 13, 2013.

Well-known glass artist Will Dexter of
<http://www.taylorbackes.com/index.html> Taylor Backes Studio in Boyertown,
Pennsylvania, is the focus of a special exhibition in the Cove Gallery on
The Museum's ground floor.  

A gathering of birds, turtles, fish and other sea creatures made of glass
create a dynamic aquatic environment in the space.  Dozens of examples of
his work are included in the luminous exhibition. Dexter is a graduate of
the Tyler School of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design.

Since 1981, Taylor Backes has been creating innovative, evocative,
traditional and contemporary glass art. Their work has been integrated into
architectural and sculptural projects, used for commercial applications, and
become part of museum and private art collections in the United States and
abroad.
