On Monday evening, March 20, Arizona Glass Alliance will very happily host a presentation by glass sculptor Grant Garmezy.

Sunday, March 5, 2023: Stephan Cox Presentation
We will lead off March with a presentation by a very well known and respected glass sculptor, Stephan Cox. Stephan is very much appreciated for his iconic sculptures, which are fantastical, strange and rare, but at the same time fun and whimsical. . . .

On Monday evening, we will host a unique presentation by Suzanne Perrault, partner in Rago/Wright/Toomey Auctions and star of the well known PBS show, Antiques Roadshow.
