Support the future of the glass community in the Boston area.

We are a group of glass artists and educators who have come together to expand our community and build a new public non-profit glass facility. Your donation will make a direct impact on our ability to secure our non-profit status and provide world class facilities and programming to professional glass artists, students, hobbyists, collectors, and enthusiasts in the greater Boston area.

Your donation, big or small, will make a huge difference for us!
