Martin Demaine

[3] After studying glassblowing in England, he began his artistic career by blowing art glass in New Brunswick in the early 1970s.

Demaine's pieces from this period are represented in the permanent collections of half a dozen major museums[6] including the Canadian Museum of Civilization[7] and the National Gallery of Canada.

Since joining MIT, Demaine has begun blowing glass again, as an instructor at the MIT Glass Lab;[8] his newer work features innovative glassblowing techniques intended as a puzzle to his fellow glassblowers.

[12] The two Demaines continue to work closely together and have many joint works of both mathematics and art,[13] including three pieces of mathematical origami in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York,[14] and another three in the permanent collection of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum.

[16] Father and son are both featured in the movie Between the Folds, a documentary on modern origami.
