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 2006.
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 250 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 three local chapters serving Eugene, Portland and
the Gorge (located in Hood River). Information
about meeting times and locations for each of the chapters
can be found on the Events page.
