Following the AGM, Bob Leatherbarrow, Dori Settles, Laura Rivolta, Michelle Gray, Mike da Ponte, Tali Grinshpan, Teresa Chaplowski and Vicky Higginson will share the stories and inspirations behind their glass work as presented in the A Sense of Place exhibition. The show features the work of 77 international CGS members, who explore how glass art expresses the emotional and cultural ties we have to the spaces around us.

We look forward to welcoming you to the AGM and artists’ presentations.
