In 2023, the Scottish Glass Society (SGS) is holding an Open Exhibition with the theme of National Icons.
This year we are working with the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society who are celebrating their 50th Anniversary in October. Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a national icon – and we have themed this year’s exhibition around this.
The aim of the “National Icons” exhibition is to demonstrate how utterly wonderful and amazing contemporary glass is so that everyone can appreciate and enjoy its magical colours, textures, use of light and variety of techniques. It is also an opportunity for the public to not only discover their own local glass artists but to encounter work from other SGS members. The work displayed will feature as wide a range of techniques as possible.
No booking necessary
As a charity, the Scottish Glass Society is an artist-led, not-for-profit organisation with a mission to champion the work of glass artists in Scotland.

The Society holds meetings to encourage communication between makers and others interested in glass, and currently has over 100 members.
