Come join us each month to talk about all things glass! Our monthly meetings are held at our McNally studio and are also typically followed by a potluck for any members who wish to participate. Please bring your own plate and cutlery if joining in the potluck.

Each meeting includes both a show-and-share portion for anybody who has projects to show or ask about, and an Education portion for free learning opportunities. Many informal “ask an expert” sessions take place at and after our meetings, and suggestions and/or volunteers for the Education portion are always welcome.
