He studied at Wayne State University and Cranbrook Academy of Art. Through an open to artistic experimentation, Glick was most influenced by the styles and aesthetics of Asian pottery an inspiration that shows in his use of decorative patterns and glaze choices. His experience working with ceramics led him to publish several articles about the craft. In addition to producing pottery, Glick began making "landscape oriented" wall panels during the latter part of his career. Known as "the people's potter," he is primarily remembered for his contributions to art and the field of ceramics. Glick operated his studio, Plum Tree Pottery, in Farmington Hills, Michigan, from 1964 to 2016.
