Join CGS for contemporary glass Discovery Day at the V&A

The Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) continues to expand horizons and take contemporary glass into the community through its final Discovery Day of 2024, to be held at the iconic Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The day promises a wealth of glassy inspiration through presentations by four leading glass artists, an opportunity to tour the galleries, plus ample chances to network with likeminded people.

This Discovery Day is open to all and takes place on Saturday 7 December 2024. Last year’s event at this venue sold out quickly, so book now to secure your place.
