Education Resource Center

Marriott Rose Foyer
Friday, June 11, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm; Saturday, June 12, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The Education Resource Center will be a space where students and those interested in continuing their pursuit of glass education may come to pick up materials and information. All educational facilities: universities, colleges, public access studios, summer programs, studios, etc., who offer instruction in glass-working and wish to be represented in the Education Resource Center are requested to provide literature. Each school is also encouraged to send a representative to be present to answer questions during the conference. 

If you want to bring your handouts and drop them off early, or to ship materials ahead of time, please contact the GAS office for shipping information.

School Presentations Forum

Degree Programs - Marriott Skybox; Non-Degree Programs - Marriott Rose Foyer
Saturday, June 12, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

All schools, both college level programs and non-degree programs, are also invited to participate in the School Presentations forum. The Education Committee of the Glass Art Society Board has decided to provide a new format for Louisville based on member participant feedback. Rather than specific time slots for individual presentations, GAS will be providing space for everyone to present at the same time, similar to a college recruitment event, Job Fair or Convention. Each educational representative who has signed up in advance (see below) will be provided an area so potential students can walk around, hear presentations of interest to them and ask questions. Degree programs will be in the Skybox room and Non-Degree Programs will be in the Education Resource Center area. A Teacher, Recruitment Officer or Educational Director must make the presentations and answer questions. A student may accompany you to assist with your presentation however please do not send students in your place.
