Register for US SGAA stained glass conference

The 2024 Stained Glass Association of America (SGAA) conference, ‘Sand to Sash’ takes place in Kansas City, Missouri, US, from 2-6 October and registration is open for the conference, plus associated workshops, tours and educational sessions.

The organisers say that the ‘Sand to Sash’ theme aims to explore glass from conception to sheet to final installation and beyond, with numerous exciting opportunities to engage with the material in new ways.

This year’s conference is hosted by Monarch Studio and Tyler Kimball, with co-hosts Andrea Denning of Denning Stained Glass and Kathy Barnard of Kathy Barnard Studio.

The hotel is central to the entire programme, located just a few minutes from most of the workshop locations and evening events. All SGAA members receive discounted registration and first access to workshops and seminars.

On 2 and 3 October there will be workshops, seminars, tours, plus an evening of live demonstrations at the Monarch Hot Shop. On 4 October there will be over a dozen presentations about framing, tools, equipment and materials. Then, during the General Session on 5 October, there will be presentations, lectures and panels covering everything from business insurance to stained glass history and major recent installations.

Stained glass workshops will offer hands-on creative sessions for all skill levels and include glass painting, rondel making, fusing, slumping, sandblasting and more.
