...primarily a designer; rather, he was a director and producer - bearing the same relation to his glass that Diaghilev did to Paris' Ballet Russe. Though he personally puttered with glass all his life, and in the early years often did a quick gouache or watercolor sketch for a proposed design, in later years he simply hired the best designers, the most skilled craftsmen, then turned them loose to fashion their individual pieces.
