| Foundation & Aims |
| |
| The Glass Association was founded in England
in 1983 at the Stourbridge College of Art, and it is a registered
charity (no. 326602). The association was established in order to
promote the understanding and appreciation of glass and glass-making
method: and to generally increase public interest in the whole
subject of glass. |

with all types of glass, both historical and contemporary, and through
its visits, meetings and publications, seeks to cater for a wide range
of glass interests. Whether you are a collector of glass, an antique
dealer, a museum curator, or you are involved in the making of glass,
the Glass Association has something to offer. |

| In addition to our strong membership base
in the UK, the association also has many overseas members prominent
in the field of glass. |
