It might be hard to imagine glass art past stained-glass windows and hand-blown paperweights, but Contemporary Glass, from Black Dog Publishing aims to open your eyes to a whole new world of design.

Featuring the work of over sixty artists, there is a huge variety of work to be inspired by. From small-scale household pieces to huge public art installations, glass has become an important element to the work of contemporary artists the world over.

From the grungier style of Joseph Harrington to the ornately scientific works of Joseph Harrington, the book provides a comprehensive study on glass art, with some stunning and inconceivable pieces.

You can pick up a copy of the book from Black Dog Publishing or Amazon now.
