Registration is Closed
The Joseph S Gregar Junior seminar is for emerging glass talent: those folks who have 5 years or less experience as a scientific glassblower. Typically, you know your way around a glass shop somewhat, but don’t feel completely confident and might need a helping hand here and there, particularly with something new that you haven’t made before.
The principal Instructor is Christopher Bock, assisted by Benjamin Revis, Richard White, Jordan Smith, Byron Keirnan and Daniel DeLashmutt.
As a benefit of ASGS membership, seats are restricted to ASGS student Junior members and by approval of the Instructor. Recipients of the Exhibitor, Memorial, Delaware Valley or Randy Searle awards are still required to submit an application.
