Studio Glass refers to a movement in glass art that began in the 1960s, emphasizing the artistic expression of individual glass artists. Unlike traditional glassmaking, which often focuses on functional items, studio glass prioritizes creativity and unique designs. Artists work in small studios, allowing for experimentation with techniques and styles.
The movement has led to the creation of diverse glass objects, including sculptures, vessels, and installations. Harvey Littleton and Dominique Labino are notable figures in this field, helping to establish studio glass as a respected art form. Today, studio glass is celebrated in galleries and museums worldwide.
