MAKE YOUR OWN GLASS

For our kick-off event, attendees are invited to make their own glass creation during a group session at The Studio, located just across the back parking lot from the CMoG Auditorium at 1 Museum Way in Corning, New York. Participants can choose to create either a glass ornament or a flower.

What better way to begin a weekend devoted to glass than by experiencing the excitement of working with hot glass yourself? If you’ve participated in one of these sessions before, you know how fascinating it is to watch each creation take shape, and how differently everyone approaches the same project. If this is your first time, you’re in for a fun and memorable hands-on experience! Best of all, you’ll leave with a glass creation of your own and a special reminder of our 25th Annual Symposium.

Make your own glass registrations must be received by August 26.

WELCOME RECEPTION AT THE CMOG STUDIO

After the glassmaking fun, continue the celebration at our Welcome Reception in The Studio Lobby. This relaxed gathering is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with longtime CSGA friends, welcome first-time attendees, and enjoy the company of fellow collectors and glass enthusiasts. Enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres as we settle in for a weekend devoted to Carder Steuben, fascinating programs, beautiful glass, and the shared interests that bring us together year after year. It’s the perfect way to set the stage for our 25th Annual Symposium!

The Studio is conveniently located just across the back parking lot from the CMoG Auditorium.
