We’re proud to announce the launch of an exciting new glass art program this spring, led by
acclaimed glass artist and former Executive Director of the Center, Ethan Stern. This
initiative brings hands-on workshops, classes, and live demonstrations in kilnforming and
flameworking to the community for the first time.

The new program is designed to be inclusive and engaging for beginners and experienced
makers alike. From colorful fused glass panels to torchwork jewelry and sculptural forms,
students will explore the transformative properties of glass in a safe, creative studio setting.
“Glass is a magical material—it’s immediate, expressive, and transforms with heat and
light,” says Stern. “I’m excited to return to CCLCF and help build a new space for creativity
and connection through this extraordinary medium.”

Ethan Stern brings over two decades of experience in contemporary glass art and education.
His work has been featured in museums and galleries across the country, and he has held
leadership and teaching positions at institutions including the Pilchuck Glass School and the
Museum of Glass.

Enrollment is now open for spring workshops and ongoing classes. The first class begins
May 4 and will continue throughout the year.
