7. Ginny Ruffner
Ruffner is based out of Seattle, Washington where she creates magnificent works of “torchworked” glass, despite being in a terrible car crash that her doctors feared she might never walk or speak again. Though she suffers from some speech and walking issues, Ginny Ruffner has gone on to have her work permanently installed in 42 museums around the world.

6. Howard Ben Tré
Tré has been dubbed as a “pioneer” in the field of glass art by “Glass” magazine thanks to his unique technique that he has created for casting hot glass. The process requires several months as that’s how long it takes to cool the molten glass once it’s been placed into a sand mold. Some of his work can be seen at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

5. William Morris
Sometimes life has a funny way of leading you down the right path, even if it’s not the one you expected. Morris wasn’t always a master glass artist. Instead, he was a truck driver for the Pilchuck Glass School who would go on to become a student and later an instructor there. He’s able to remarkably transform glass to mimic the appearance of bone, wood, fiber, and other materials,

4. Lino Tagliapietra
Tagliapietra is revered by his peers and students as he is responsible for creating several methods and procedures that are now commonly used in the production of glass art. He began studying as an apprentice at the age of 12 and became a master at his craft when he was just 25yearsold. His work can be viewed all over the world.

3. Luke Jerram
Though he suffers from being colorblind, Luke Jerram doesn’t let that stop him from creating marvelous pieces of glass art. During the course of his still continuous 20yearcareer, Jerram has acquired numerous amounts of accolades under his belt. What you see in the following image is a glass sculpture of the swine flu virus from his collection titled “Glass Microbiology.”

2. Jack Storms
Storms is incredibly wellknown for the method he has developed in the process of creating his unique and signature works of art. It’s described as being a “coldglass” process that requires a heavy amount of time to complete, 24 hours to be exact. While owning his own studio, Storms has impressively had his work featured in the movie “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
