Volume 40 - Issue 4

The July/August 2025 issue of Glass Art® magazine takes you on an around-the-world journey through the glass art world and you don’t even need a passport! We begin in the UK, where you’ll meet British glass sculptor Karen Browning, whose work includes a riveting blend of neon, scrying mirrors, and homemade bullets exploding through wax casting molds, by Kathleen Elliot. What do you see as the major changes in the glass world, and how should new artists cope with them? In this issue’s Artist to Artist feature author Tone Ørvik asked Jane Bruce, Daniel Clayman, Laura Denefer and Michael E. Taylor what they thought, and their responses might surprise you! Zachary Green shares the many ways in which The American Glass Guild (AGG) recently transformed the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum into a vibrant showcase of contemporary glass with their American Glass Now exhibition. The Corning Museum of Glass empowers high school students to produce museum exhibitions through their Junior Curators program, with results ranging from using Czech art as a form of Communist resistance to cherishing the importance of family and community.

Sara Sally LaGrand celebrates the career of the late Ginny Ruffner, sharing her lasting contributions to the flameworking community. Looking for a bit of tropical inspiration? Look no further than the floral paperweights of French artist Mikael Hingant, by Angie Rodgers.
