Who We Are
The
Oregon Glass Guild (OGG) is a non-profit membership organization
that strives to unite and inform Oregon's multi-disciplined art
glass community. Techniques and media used by members include
acid etching, stained glass, fusing, glass blowing, glass casting,
painting on glass, lampworking, glass mosaics, neon, sandblasting
and more. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what we
do, please read our President's
Newsletter which contains a nice summary major OGG accomplishments
during 2009.
Our Mission
Established in 2000, OGG's mission
is to support Oregon's glass artists and stimulate the exchange
of information, ideas and knowledge about the diverse field
of glass art among glass artists, art galleries, business interests
and the general public. Membership is open to all.
Our Goals
- To promote the public appreciation
of and understanding about glass
- To help member artists succeed
in their endeavors, encouraging emerging artists
- To provide the opportunity for
exchange of experiences and opinions through discussion meetings,
demonstrations, and expositions
- To help member artists with business
and management questions through networking, discussion and
classes
Our History
OGG
was born in the mind of George Kjaer, an amateur glass blower
from Eugene, Oregon. He envisioned an organization that would
nurture emerging glass artists; offer opportunity to network for
the established artists, while introducing the general public
into the intricacies of the art of glass. Growing each year, OGG
now has over 200 members representing most glass disciplines.
Our Chapters
OGG
is designed to offer the glass artist the best possible environment
for growth, through networking, classes and discussion, on a local
chapter level, combined with support from a strong state structure.
OGG now has a total of four local chapters serving Eugene,
Mid-Valley, Portland and The Gorge.
Information about meeting times and locations for each of the
chapters can be found on the Events page.
Our
Mailing List
OGG
offers a mailing list for members of the general public that would
like to be notified about upcomming shows or special events featuring
artwork by members of the Oregon Glass Guild. Our mailing list
is used only for OGG related information and is not sold nor shared
with other organizations and subscribers are free to unsubscribe
