The
Washington Glass Studio was established in 2001 with a vision to
deliver high quality large-scale art and architectural projects into
the public domain. The Studio brings together Washington Area sculptors,
increasing the opportunities of individual and collaborative sculptural
work and creating venues for public interaction with the art. This
includes all forms and techniques of glass along with metal, concrete,
lighting, neon, architecture and other sculptural media.
The Washington Glass Studio is focused on providing Public Art projects
and private commissions incorporating glass as a sculptural element
and through collaboration with artists working in different media.
Vision
To promote glass as a viable sculptural medium in the creation of
art in a wide range of scales for the private and public realm.
