depending on the shapes of the sculpture, clear glass could create focused light which could actually melt parts and/or cause tension in the glass. It could also start a fire perhaps. Non-clear glass would have a chance at survival, but could also risk tension problems (which could lead to breakage).

I think it really depends on the project and the individual goal of the piece. I've left lots of blow glass items outside without too much problem.

Hello,
I thought I'd post this because it is my very first effort at texturizing float glass. The bubble was a nice mistake... haven't decided on a use for it as of yet. So, for now, it makes for an interesting table.
