The Art of Kiln-glass L018

Glass art comes in many shapes and sizes. These range from the simple and practical to the abstract, colorful, and amazing. Thanks to glass artists around the world, the creative boundaries of this dynamic and exciting art-making material continue to expand.

Accordingly, Bullseye Glass manufactures a type of art glass called “kiln-glass.” As its name suggests, Bullseye designed this type of glass to be formed and shaped at very high temperatures in a glass kiln. As a result, kiln-glass lends itself to diverse working methods and objects. These objects include simple slumped bowls and platters, cast sculptures, painterly panels, and architectural installations.

To offer an overview of the field, then, this video lesson highlights a variety of finished art pieces from contemporary artists working in kiln-glass. Enjoy!
