Glass Art

In the recent years glass has become a crafter’s paradise. Glass art is the hottest platform nowadays for expressing one’s wild creative ideas. Don’t raise your eyebrows! Glass art is nowadays gaining more and more popularity among people with an artistic bend of mind. I believe glass art exudes sophistication and style together.

There are so many ways to give glass a lively art form.

You can inscribe beautiful images in the inner surface of the glass block or customize the glass according to your taste. It comes in a range of shapes, sizes, textures, colors and designs. The most commonly used glasses are mosaic, stained and sandblasted glass.

Process of making:

Molding of ordinary glass to the contemporary textured one does involve a lot of expertise. Glass blowing, fusing, flame workings are just to name a few.

Either by using a torch or a glory hole, the glass beads are melted and reshaped into new fiber pads. On these the final sculpturing of leaves, flowers and other motifs is done.

As the name “fusing,” suggests the glass bars are fused to a single smooth form by heating.

Usability of glass art:
