Glassblowing
Molten glass is gathered, shaped, and blown into forms from vessels to sculpture.
Glass Art
Originally an American phenomenon, contemporary studio glass art spread internationally and emphasizes the artist as designer and maker of one-of-a-kind objects.

The studio movement differs from other twentieth-century art glass movements through its focus on the individual artist, technical knowledge sharing, and international exchange.
Glass is heated to extreme temperatures before it can be blown, cast, fused, flameworked, carved, or shaped into artwork.
Glassblowing uses molten glass gathered on a blowpipe and expanded into form. Casting uses molds and controlled cooling. Flamework uses a torch and small tools for delicate, detailed work.
Trish Duggan’s art practice centers on contemporary glass while reaching into themes of nature, peace, human rights, space, augmented reality, culture, and beauty.
In 2017, Trish opened TD Glass in the Arts District of St. Petersburg, Florida. The studio supports processes including modern woodblock prints, fusing, carving, casting, slumping glass, coldworking, woodshop work, printmaking, and glass casting.
In 2018, she founded Imagine Museum, whose mission is to elevate American and international contemporary glass art and artists through education and exhibitions.
