What is Art Glass?

Art Glass primarily refers to glass works more decorative than a functional intention created by individual artists and/or several several assistants using small furnaces in glass studies. While contemporary art glass is remarkable for manual aspects and individual creativity, vintage art glass that made before the 1960s may include glass art made in a factory produced by small teams of factory workers.

with machines taking up the production of utilitarian glass objects in the nineteenth century, workers had time to try their hands on more artistic creations. The modernist movement in art also influenced the production of glass, with institutions such as Corning in New York, Bauhaus School in Germany and the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague and misleading glass courses with an emphasis on fine art training. As a result, artists Glass began to integrate the effects of fine art into their work.

Society like Lalique, Daum, Galle, Royalleerdam Crystal and Kosta Bost in EvroFoot, Tiffany and Steuben's in the US and Hoya Crystal in Japan have become known for their production of art glass. Murano, Italy, with a long tradition of glass experimentation, has remained in the foreground and is generally considered a place of modern art glass movement that inspired artists from all over the world.

However,

Glass Artistry at a strictly individual level did not occur until the 1960s, with Studio Glass in the US. American artists such as Harvey Littleton, Dominic Labino, Marvin Lipsky, Bill Boysen and Dale Chihula have created unique glass works using many different and new techniques and started glass programs at different American universities. The Art Glass Studio movement then went international. Many countries now have companies, grants and competitions to encourage the upcoming glass artists to make it easier to exchange ideas and methods.

Some of the main methods of making art glass include glass blowing, castingY and merating glass, free glass forms, glass glass and glass that has a formula.
