GAS Conference, Workshops, and Student Exhibition
All things GAS can be found here: http://www.glassart.org/2014_Conference_Chicago_IL.html . This is happening during spring break.
TAKE NOTE: There are a number of pre- and post-conference workshops that are pretty fantastic and so close to home! http://www.glassart.org/2014_PrePost_Conference_Workshops.html#Ignite I strongly recommend considering one of these if you have the time and financial resources.
