Five Glass Sculptures

 

Glass has been used as an art medium for over 3500 years.  Glass beads and amulets have been found that were made as far back as 2500 BCE.  It is very amazing that just a few basic ingredients, such as sand, ashes, and lime, can be used to make this wonderfully beautiful and versatile material. Here are five pieces of glass art to celebrate the art of glass.
