ARTGLASS
Art glass
Art glass is an item that is made, usually for decoration but also for purpose, from glass that has been worked into a form that is considered artistic. Such techniques include stained glass windows, leaded lights, glass that has been placed into a kiln so that it will mould into a shape, glass blowing, sandblasted glass, and copperfoil work. Art glass has grown in popularity in recent years with many artists becoming famous for their work, and as a result of more colleges offering courses in glass work. Many amateurs now undertake making art glass as a hobby.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Art glass
