Creative Glass Guild of Queensland
The Creative Glass Guild of Queensland was formed in 1979 to encourage sharing of knowledge, and improvement of, skills of those who enjoy working with glass in a creative way. Being in the hands of an ageing population, traditional glass arts are at risk of dying out. In Australia, the Guild is unique in offering a range of glass art courses in one place with facilities and equipment “on loan” for members to practice & hone skills. We offer courses and workshops in Bead Making (Lampwork), Fusing and Slumping, Leadlight & Copperfoiling, Mosaics, Sand Blasting and traditional Stained Glass.
We are a team of diverse artist facilitators drawn together through a passion for Mixed Media, Sculpture and Powertex mediums (fabric hardener and self-hardening clay). Although individually we come from a range of artistic backgrounds we aim through collaboration to develop our artistic practice through sharing skills and ideas, increasing our environmental awareness and integrating repurposed, recycled or upcycled elements, holding exhibitions, developing and running regular workshops.
