“ ...My work celebrates the awe inspiring beauty and’ intellectual wonder of glass. The remarkable quality of SCHOTT’s optical glass has allowed me unlimited design potential. SCHOTT produces materials that enable me to bring my ideas into reality.”

Chris Cosma, Art in Architecture, Wall Street, NYC

SCHOTT glass is a unique material for the artist, the obvious qualities being its high refractive index, which is the cause of its brilliance, and equally important quality being the consistency of the formulation, which allows for the casting of monumental works in sections without unwanted variations in color.”

Very large castings for sculpture, monuments, art, long strip glass with natural light refracting features used in dramatic wall & window designs, room dividers, louvers, mouldings (+10 ft lengths), large strip and geometric extrusions again with natural light refracting features for columns, pillars, spindles, monuments, cutting, grinding, polishing, carving, sand-blasting, faceting, slumping, etching, engraving and more processing technologies can be offered, always accompanied with consistency & reproducible glass quality & properties.
