Spring Hours Update
COVID-19
There’s no question – the declaration of COVID‑19 as a worldwide health pandemic is having an impact on our lives, business operations and the way we interact with one another. With this in mind, we continue to monitor and assess the updates provided by the Government of Canada and Public Health. This information guides our approach and helps ensure we take the steps that best protect our clients and artists, reduce risk and ensure we continue serving your needs.
Things are changing rapidly and we’re reaching out with an update about our commitment to safety and well-being. We’ve decided it is in the best interest of our valued clients and staff to be closed to the public at this time.
Glen Williams Glass is a collective studio made up of seven independent glass artists and is part of The Williams Mill. The diversity of experiences and interests of its individual members fosters a creative and experimental environment. Glen Williams Glass is open daily, and welcomes visitors to observe the glassblowing process and enquire about the various techniques and styles of its seven members.
The studio was founded in 1995 by Andrew Kuntz, Glass faculty member at Sheridan College, and Carol Nesbitt, Camilla Willings, Michelle Miller, Megan Kenny and Jennifer Tarrant; graduates of the program. The studio continues to maintain strong ties to the college. Many of the current members are graduates of Sheridan’s Craft and Design program, and have also sought additional education through courses and workshops at the Studio at Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, and at Fleming College’s Haliburton School of the Arts. Works made by the artists are exhibited and collected both locally and internationally in public venues and private collections.
In addition to its function as a co-operative, Glen Williams Glass regularly welcomes non-members to the studio. Qualified glassblowers are able to rent the facilities, and each year the studio members award a Summer Scholarship Program to a Sheridan College student.
