Pittsburgh Glass Center

Paige, Pittsburgh Glass Center's marketing director, reporting for the PGC contingent currently attending the 2026 Conference in Corning, NY:

We toured the contemporary glass collection at with long-time friend of PGC Corey Pemberton. So happy to see that he is on the CMOG acquisitions committee and hear his insights. We even saw an installation including hometown favorite and PGC friend Vanessa German.

Another piece of our home here in Corning: PGC co-founder Kathleen Mulcahy’s work is currently on display in CMOG's exhibition "Tough Stuff: Women in the American Glass Studio." ❤️ It's on view through January 10, 2027

A packed house gathered for flameworking demonstrations by Lucio Bubacco and Alessandro Boscolo. We hope they will visit us in Pittsburgh soon.

Be sure to visit our booth if you're in Corning for the conference. We're celebrating our 25th anniversary with giveaways, prizes, treats, and more fun!

There's still time to apply for scholarships to our Summer Teen Boot Camp, firing up at PGC July 13–17!

New this year, payment plans are available for camp tuition.
