About the Art Glass Center

The Art Glass Center at Glen Echo is a nonprofit school, a resource center, and a gallery for kiln formed glass that serves the Washington metropolitan area. The Center is directed by residence artists who are committed to both teaching and creating. These artists, plus other professional glass artists, offer a variety of classes for beginning, intermediate and advanced students/artists. Classes offered include basic and advanced fused glass techniques, kiln casting, and jewelry.  The center also supports a robust studio artist program which offers local artists the ability to secure space and resources to create glass art.

The Art Glass Center Gallery presents a variety of functional and sculptural fused glass pieces. These pieces showcase many of the techniques that are taught in the studio and are available for purchase. The Art Glass Center’s Studio and Gallery are open to the public Saturday, noon–4pm, Sunday, noon to 4pm, during Open Studio sessions, and by appointment (please email: info@artglasscenter.org).
