The Glass Furnace Foundation is Turkey’s largest glass arts center, located in Beykoz, Istanbul. Surrounded by nature, its riverside campus provides a peaceful and creative setting.
Established in 2002, the foundation’s mission is to promote glass as an art form, support glass production and education, and make it accessible to everyone. It holds a collection of over 1,200 contemporary glass artworks, some displayed on-site and others loaned to exhibitions. Each year, it welcomes 30,000 children through school trips, workshops, and special programs.
Initially a small production studio, it quickly became a leading arts center, hosting workshops, training glass artists, and collaborating with international masters. Education remains a priority, with activities for all ages and skill levels, alongside seasonal events that attract many visitors.
In our talk, we will begin by exploring Yılmaz Yalçınkaya’s journey in glass art, which has significantly influenced the direction of The Glass Furnace. We will also touch on the traditional glassmaking heritage in Turkish history, from Ottoman times to the present, and discuss the evolution of the studio glass movement in Türkiye. The presentation will include a few short videos highlighting the foundation’s 22-year history, along with photos from its glass collection. We will also showcase works by Turkish glass artists who have connected with the foundation as students or instructors. We will conclude by sharing our upcoming events and future plans.

Theme: An exhibition celebrating glass’s 4th dimension
The Contemporary Glass Society is delighted to have the opportunity once again to collaborate with London Glassblowing in 2025. Peter Layton of London Glassblowing was one of the founding members of CGS and is still a guiding light and one of the foremost promoters of contemporary glass throughout the UK. CGS really appreciate his continuing support as we launch our next exhibition at London Glassblowing.
We invite glass artists from across the UK to submit your most captivating and innovative pieces that push the boundaries of the visual illusions that can be achieved through the incredible medium of glass. We want to showcase the magic and mystery that glass can embody with craft pieces that manipulate form, colour and light to challenge the viewer’s perceptions. Overseas artists are also invited to apply for inclusion in the Gallery’s online catalogue of the exhibition.
The exhibition is open to all UK based CGS members and their work will be displayed in the gallery and will be included in the gallery’s online catalogue. International CGS members can apply at a reduced application fee but will only be included in the gallery’s online Mirage exhibition catalogue. Their work will NOT be included in the physical exhibition but will be for sale and seen as part of the overall Mirage exhibition.
Work should have been made since January, 2023 or can be made especially as a response to the exhibition’s theme. Up to two pieces of work can be submitted, or a group of small pieces. Work must comprise of at least 50% glass. Maximum size of an individual piece of work or group of related pieces is:
- Freestanding – 40 x 40 x 40cms
- Wall hung – 60 x 60cms
The selection will take place in early April, 2025 by a panel including Peter Layton, Sarah Brown from CGS and an independent artist tbc. We aim to show a cross section of glass making techniques.
If you are selected the gallery will contact you and send you their own contract to complete. You should be notified by 21st April, 2025.
Selected artists will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a curated exhibition at London Glassblowing, alongside established names in the glass art community such as, Peter Layton, Anthony Scala, Layne Rowe, Tim Rawlinson and Sila Yucel to name just a few.
We look forward to seeing how you respond to this call and receiving your innovative and thought-provoking submissions for “MIRAGE”. An exhibition that promises to turn London Glassblowing into an oasis of glass illusion.
