glass sculpture

The glass sculpture tradition is as old as the glass blowing technique. Glass sculptures are categorized as art glass, which refers to large modern works of art primarily fashioned out of glass. Glass sculptures are three dimensional artworks incorporating glass in them. The production of these glass sculptures became possible with the discovery of the technique of glass blowing in the last century BC. Glass blowing was the most important discovery in the entire preindustrial history of glassmaking after that of glass itself. This technique utilized the previously unknown attribute of glass: Its ability to expand and inflate in the molten form. This revolutionized the use of glass and enabled glass makers to experiment with the art of sculpting glass to produce three dimensional structures. Historically, glass sculptures have played a significant role in the art and architecture of ancient civilizations. Roman Empire was exceptionally famous for its sophisticated artistic techniques and glass sculpture production. The versatility, diversity and elaborate workmanship of glass made it a favorite amongst the Roman Emperors therefore the use of glass in sculptures was highly encouraged and during this era, glass sculptures became incorporated into the daily lives of the Romans. Traveling traders and craftsmen introduced this form of art in surrounding European countries such as Greece and Egypt. The art of glass sculpting was again revived after the fall of the Roman Empire, in Italy during the Renaissance era.Here, many centuries later, modern glass sculpture compositions are still one of the most popular decor items.
