The National Capital Art Glass Guild is a
group of glass artists of all persuasions primarily from Maryland, Virginia, and
Washington, DC who come together to share ideas, learn from each other, and have fun. We
are a 503(c)(3) non-profit organization and we strive to educate our community about the
glass arts, and give our member-artists and their artwork exposure to the whole world. The
NCAGG welcomes as members any who have an interest in glass art.
The NCAGG was founded in 1978
as a community of artisans interested in stained glass. As the glass arts have expanded,
the guild and the interests of its members have grown to include all forms of glass art
such as fusing, etching, beveling, and painting. Through meetings, workshops, and
exhibitions, the NCAGG provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences, and
promotes in the community at large all aspects of glass as an art and craft.
Every year guild members
conduct classes in many glass techniques, and present programs to interested schools,
organizations, and community groups through our outreach
efforts. We hold regular planning meetings and social events such as special presentations
from visiting artists, field trips, an annual picnic and an annual meeting/auction. We
also organize various glass art shows for our members every year at
local galleries and cultural institutions.
