Synopsis

It used to be that art glass was found only in cathedrals and churches. No longer. It's gradually made its way into homes, office spaces and other public places. Whether they are working with large sheets of structural glass, ornate panes of leaded glass, or multidimensional glass sculptures, the artists featured in these pages are exploring the use of glass in new and fascinating ways.

The Art of Glass presents many glass artists and the work they have created. View stunning architectural glass as well as beautiful glass murals in the following pages. Also included are the artist's techniques and design philosophies, in hopes that other glass artists can use this book as a reference tool and inspirational guide in their own work.
