LSGA Monthly Meeting
2026-04-25 10:00 - 12:00, 2026-05-23 10:00 - 12:00
Come join us each month to talk about all things glass! Our monthly meetings are held at our McNally studio on the 4th Saturday of most months.

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.

Members of LSGA are invited to attend Open Studio. Bring your project and work alongside your fellow glass fanatics. Sharing ideas and seeing what others are working on is part of the fun.

This is your opportunity to ask for assistance with anything related to the studio. I am happy to help you with equipment setup, operation and cleanup. I will answer project-related questions if I can, or refer you to the right person with that skill set.

Remember to check the calendar each week to see when Open Studio will be held. Both day and evening times will be offered, and dates may change.
