Glass Sculpture Creates Gorgeous Glassware from “Junk”

I’ve eyed a glass bottle cutter myself on several occasions, but glass sculpture Ruth Allen goes beyond slicing off tops and sanding edges. She transformed discarded glass containers into elegant creations that retain just enough of their original form to preserve their origins.

Sustainable stubbies up-cycles manufactured bottles into re-fillable, re-usable vases, jugs and tumblers. Using traditional hot glass techniques bottles are reclaimed and manipulated using a heating process and transformed into unique, collectable treasures.
