Meet Our Resident Artists
The Art Glass Center is managed by a talented team of resident artists: from educators and scientists, to professional artists- we come from a variety of backgrounds. Collectively we’ve acquired a vast array of kiln forming skills, teach workshops, host Open Studio, keep the studio running, and enjoy creating kiln formed glass reflecting our individual styles.

Our studio artist program
The Studio Artist program at the Art Glass Center provides an opportunity for local glass artists to join a robust supportive art community and secure space and resources in our fully equipped studio. Being an integral part of the Center allows all of the artists to exchange ideas and support each other as they create together.
