Studio glass refers to a movement in glass art that began in the 1960s, emphasizing artistic expression and individual craftsmanship. Unlike traditional glass production, which often focuses on functional items, studio glass prioritizes unique, sculptural pieces created by artists in small studios. Artists working in the studio glass movement often experiment with various techniques, such as blowing, casting, and fusing, to create innovative designs. This approach allows for greater creativity and personal style, leading to a diverse range of works that can be both decorative and conceptual.
