"Sailboats" by Mark Peiser, 1975

Summary

Mark Peiser transformed the world of glass through a technique he devised which involves drawing with melted glass canes of various colors on molten glass. He encapsulates these images between layers of glass to create the 3-d effect. Landscape imagery is a frequent subject in his work.
