Hurlstone's work is in many permanent collections, including the American Crafts Museum in New York City and the Corning Museum of Contemporary Glass, the nation's leading museum of modern glass art. His glass pieces have been exhibited in Japan, England, France, Germany, and Spain as well as in specialized exhibitions, including those at the Smithsonian Institution and the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.
