We believe in magic and it happens here everyday.   All glass items pictured were made by our members.  Join our growing club of enthusiastic glass artists and make some magic of your own.  Training, support, supplies and inspiration are plentiful, as is the joy of being in a creative environment.  To learn more, click on ABOUT US.

FUSED

Fusing involves creating a multi-layered design in glass, which is fired in a kiln to join all the layers and elements into a unified piece.  Fused glass art can be functional or purely artistic, as the possibilities for color and shape are endless.

MOSAICS

Mosaic art decorates a surface with designs made up of closely set, variously colored small pieces of material such as glass, tile, stone, metal or shells.

STAINED

Stained glass art takes full advantage of light shining through glass. Designs incorporate multiple pieces joined and strengthened with solder.

Happenings in the Glass Artists Club... 

2024 Annual Meeting

On December 14th, 80 plus members enjoyed an inspiring walk down memory lane with President Jayne Becker as she reviewed the truly astounding achievements of 2024. Transitioning from no home in January to furnishing our beautiful new professional-grade studio, it’s been a wild ride! And required a lot of sweat equity from the members. Jayne’s review was peppered with gratitude for all the heavy lifting by so many. In this year alone, the Club grew by another 100 members, bringing us to a whopping 244 members as of the first of December! WOW!!

Attendees feasted on tables of delicious food. The events committee outdid themselves with great decorations and wonderful door prizes. And special thanks to those who displayed their beautiful glass art. Very inspiring!

A key theme of the day was volunteer appreciation. GAC is completely volunteer driven, and each committee was acknowledged to much applause. Our volunteers gain as much as they give, in knowledge and friendships.


Board Transitions

Transitioning off the Board of Directors are two inspiring and dedicated members who have actively participated in a lot of the heavy lifting – President Jayne Becker and Treasurer Nora Mena. We have all benefitted from their expertise and commitment to the Glass Artists Club. Thank you both for your generous and profuse contributions. Your shoes will be hard to fill, but here we go…

We are happy to announce the results of the 2024 election and Board appointment! (Drum roll, please)
