The Glass Art Society table in the Resource Center is always located in close proximity to other glass related organizations such as GLASS Quarterly magazine, the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and the Corning Museum of Glass's Hot Glass Roadshow unit which offers glassblowing demonstrations for visitors with narration describing the tools and process.

For those wishing to join or renew their membership with the Glass Art Society, special membership discounts are offered. Available only to those who join/renew on site.
