glass sculpture
Molten sand art
Glass sculpture is three-dimensional artwork made primarily from glass, shaped through techniques like blowing, casting, fusing, or carving.
The medium ranges from delicate figurines to massive installations: The museum's collection includes Chihuly glass sculptures.
Unlike functional glassware, glass sculpture exists purely as art, often exploiting the material's transparency, color, and ability to capture light.
