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, electronics, 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.
