The Creative Glass Guild of Etsy

The CGGE has finally been formed. I am a proud member and joint leader of this wonderful new Etsy street team. We have over 80 members so far. We are The Creative Glass Guild of Etsy (CGGE) or “Glass Guild” for short. We are in the process of designing a new banner for the group, I will post it here when it is finished.

You can visit our website at http://www.cgge.org we have a gallery, link to CGGE lisying on etsy, and forums for more information on the groups activities.

We are a non-juried glass group that is open to everyone who uses glass as their medium. We ask all members to have 5 “glass” items in their shops at all times. Membership is based on inclusiveness and member involvement; not strict rules, organizational structures and exclusivity. We strive to create a team with diverse backgrounds and wide-ranging levels of success & experience. Therefore, we aim to welcome everybody who works with glass, despite their associations or current skill levels. We hope to foster a teaching environment where new members can learn from experienced mentors via shared knowledge and constructive critiques.The CGGE is steered by a leadership committee of 3-5 co-leaders, who rely on member input and majority rule to make decisions that affect the team. We are open to suggestions from our members and welcome initiative, creativity and diversity. The leadership committee may change at any time, based on who is passionate and dedicated to seeing this group become successful!. Our goals are; to foster an open creative and supportive environment for all glass artists, to learn and share glass techniques from each other, to share information and knowledge gained from outside the group and contribute to the Etsy community, to promote CGGE members' shops and glass-related activities, to promote ETSY as a site for handmade items at our craft fairs and shows that we attend, and most importantly to have fun!
