The annual conference brings together the best of glass, art and craft to explore expansive themes in an inspirational environment. Artists, practitioners, academics and experts in the field of glass and other media give presentations and lead debates in an international gathering which takes place over two days in early September.

This year we have planned our most exciting conference ever, with two days of inspirational speakers in the beautiful setting of Caithness, and we will be celebrating Glass Games 2012. Created by the Contemporary Glass Society, Glass Games 2012 is a nationwide extravaganza of glass events that capture the Olympic spirit, bringing the magic of glass to more people than ever before.

North Lands will be hosting a specially commissioned glass baton, and working in partnership with Scottish Glass Society to present a weekend of glass games, activities and demonstrations. We will also be hosting the SGS Annual Exhibition, featuring some of the best contemporary artists working in glass.

Not to be missed!

The Conference is sponsored in part by the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning USA
