The Art Glass Center at Glen Echo comprises a school, a resource center, and a gallery for kilnformed glass that serves the Washington metropolitan area.
Seven studio glass artists-in-residence direct the school and are committed to both teaching and creating.
These artists, plus other professional glass artists, offer a variety of classes in glassworking: fusing, kiln casting, pate de verre, mosaics, Venetian glass bead making, flameworking, color and design, painting and silk-screening on glass, stained glass, and architectural kiln-glass.
The Center produces five exhibits each year featuring the glass art of emerging artists, studio artists, faculty and students.
The Center is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization that provides education and support in the development of glass art and artists.
