- "Ascension" by Mark Peiser, 1987 - "For me, technique is not cheap -- it's imperative," asserts Mark Peiser. This contrasts with the comment made by Harvey Littleton, the founder of the studio glass movement, that, "Technique is cheap." Peiser creates innovative technical processes that express his ideas. His Innerspace Series (1983-1994) explores how to compose a solid three dimensional image within a mass of a different color.

- Orchard Box by Kimiake Higuchi, 2007 - New centers of glassmaking emerged as studio glass spread in the 1980s, creating a truly international movement. In Japan, studio glass artist Kimiake Higuchi referenced the Art Nouveau style of the 1890s for inspiration. She revived a popular glassmaking technique known as "pate-de-verre" to achieve opaque finishes and used color schemes and botanical motifs that further echo the Art Nouveau.
