Large Mason jars, five-gallon buckets and plastic containers were spread out across a wooden table in glass artist Michael J. Magyarâs East Sandwich studio. The containers were filled with Sandwich history: chunks and shards of old glass from the Boston & Sandwich Glass Factory.
Mr. Magyar empties one of the buckets into a metal tray and begins spraying the glass with water. He reaches in and picks up one foggy piece, and notes some of the imperfections that he says are bits of the factor floor.
A selection of the piecesâthe ones that still hold their colors, patterns and shapesâare destined to become part of a public art display that Mr. Maguire was selected to create and install near the Dexter Grist Mill, next door to Sandwich Town Hall.
