The Carder brothers—Frederick Carder (1863-1963) and George J. Carder (1868-1953)—are closely linked with the life and progress of the Wordsley School of Art, most notably as the school achieved and maintained its reputation for excellence in courses of instruction pertaining to glass and trained students who had careers in the glass industry. As art master at Wordsley, the elder Carder established a foundation that was carried forward by George J. Carder after his brother immigrated to the United States in 1903 to become associated with the Steuben Glass Works.
