Glasswork

From Wikiversity

Glasswork' that comes through a heating proccess (kiln work ie; warm glass) has a special appeal for me, to be able to alter the form, sometimes radically, of glass is a very special art. More and more glasswork is being produced by machinery, the technology is staggering in its scope. Arguably the very best of the art glass comes from the mind and hands of the dedicated glass artist. Each and every piece is different, special, interesting and sometimes beautiful.

Laboratory tests indicate that glass in a land-fill situation, takes approx. 20,000 years to begin changing, this should be sufficient reason to salvage all used glass and maybe turn some or most into art.
