This year, The Studio will introduce The James Flaws & Marcia Weber Casting Center, a dedicated foundry and resource center focused on advancing cast glass. This talk will explore the center's mission to provide artists, designers, architects, and others with the tools and support needed to realize their ideas in this dynamic medium. The center will offer facility rentals, commission services, and consultancy promoting collaboration and innovation. A key goal of the new center is to become a central hub for knowledge-sharing, encouraging creators to expand the possibilities of cast glass and inspire new work in this medium.
