Book excerpt: "Although the process of melting sand to make glass has been used for thousands of years, the contemporary "art glass movement" began with a single workshop just 40 years ago. In the decades since, the movement has grown into an international phenomenon, fueled by the drama of hot-glass techniques and the dazzling beauty of frozen light, color and form." "Contemporary Glass: Color, Light & Form presents 130 contemporary glass artists who produce functional and sculptural works. All of these men and women have made glass their primary medium."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
