The Lifetime Membership Award is given annually to a GAS member whose years of service to the organization and the glass community go beyond the call of duty. We are honored to award Jeff Lindsay with the 2025 Lifetime Membership Award.
Lindsay debuted his glass shears at the 1978 GAS Conference in Asilomar, California and his business later evolved into Cutting Edge Products, which has been a consistent GAS Market vendor for decades. He also served on the GAS Board of Directors from 2013 to 2019.
Jeff’s contributions to the glass community span decades—as an artist, an innovative tool maker, a generous mentor, and a tireless advocate for our field. His technical innovations have expanded possibilities for countless artists, while his advocacy for our material through his sheer goodwill, volunteerism, and the donation of prizes for countless GAS initiatives has inspired generations of students. Jeff’s commitment to building community within the world of glass embodies the very spirit of the Glass Art Society.
