Art Glass

Sweden has produced a lot of artistic glass, but there are also many glassblowers in the USA. In
June, 2014, we visited a glass studio in New York and an art glass gallery with  in Massachusetts.

Glass balls outside the studio, very similar to what we have seen made by Elna Jolom in Sweden.

The studio.

One of the artists, Nathan Hoogs, can be seen in the doorway. Elizabeth Crawford is the other artist working at the studio.

The Schantz Galleries in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is a leading contemporary glass gallery.

The gallery has displays on two floors, here ground floor with the reception desk.

The featured artist in June was Lino Tagliapietro. These are a few of his pieces. One of his works cost US$70,000.

Artist Paul Stankard. The flowers and insects are made of individual glass pieces, then assembled and blown into clear glass forms.

The work to produce a glass ball like this may explain the price of US$ 15,000.
