glass art

Blown decorative pieces

Glass art is the creation of decorative or sculptural objects from glass, encompassing techniques like blowing, fusing, casting, and staining.

The term covers everything from functional vessels to abstract installations: The museum's glass art collection includes Chihuly chandeliers.

Studio glass emerged as a fine art movement in the 1960s, distinguishing artistic work from industrial glassmaking.
