Glass is one of the most versatile materials on earth. It’s

used from making the screen of our phones to lenses in
microscopes.
Here are some famous glass sculptors:

 Dane chihuly is an American glass artist and entrepreneur. He is best known in the field of
blown glass, “moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture”. Created in 1998, prolific
 artist Dale Chihuly’s Fiori di Como is the world’s largest glass sculpture. The installation
resides inside the lobby of the world-famous Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, and is comprised
of around 2,000 glass umbrellas that cover 190 square metres across the giant room’s
ceiling.

 Félix duban Sainte-Chapelle is one of the best preserved medieval wonders in Europe, and
its windows are completely out of this world. The chapel was located at the heart of the
Palais de la Cité, the old royal palace and residence of the kings and queens of France, but
the area was rebuilt as the Palais de Justice in later years. It was constructed over seven
years in the 1240s, with special emphasis placed on the stained-glass windows, which are
undoubtedly the centre piece.

  Julia Vogl is an artist originally from Washington, D.C. who lives and works in London,
England. She is a social sculptor, and primarily makes public art. Singing on Paddington
Street is a truly unique work by renowned international artist Julia Vogl that celebrates the
gift of song in the centre of London. The 102 metre square sculpture has 42 individual
sections made with coloured glass, with each panel representing a musical note on the key.
The artwork is a significant tribute to the area of Marylebone that was a popular haunt for
recording artists in the 1960s and 1970s

. The glass sculpture “comet glass star” created by Simone cenedese. Murano in Venice is
the glass-making capital of the world, and it seems only fitting that one of main squares is
the home of a beautiful creation like Comet Glass Star. The island became home to the
city’s glassmakers when they were relocated in 1291 due to risk of fire, and has produced
world famous glass art ever since. This futuristic-looking piece sits on the Campo San
Stefano beneath the 19th century clock tower, offering a startling juxtaposition of the old
and the new.
