Studio glass movement

The Studio Glass Movement is a design and artistic movement where individual artists create glass art in small studios rather than large factories. Originating in the 1960s, it emphasizes personal creativity and craftsmanship, allowing artists to experiment with techniques and forms. This movement transformed glass from a functional material into a fine art medium, fostering innovation and making unique, handcrafted glass pieces more accessible to collectors and the public. It promotes the idea that glass art can be both artistic expression and everyday aesthetic, with artists actively involved in every step of the production process.
