Fragile beauty: Glass works star in new museum show

Alice Wyllie of National Museums Scotland in Edinburgh views The Glass Cyphers by Griet Beyaert and Paul Miller, part of a new exhibition opening today about the diverse work of 15 established and emerging British glass artists. Presented in partnership with The National Centre for Craft and Design, Art of Glass explores how artists are embracing the medium of glass in innovative ways, pushing the boundaries of techniques and challenging the perception of glass as merely a material for creating functional objects. It runs until 16 September.
