Kilnformed Glass Artist
What GA70's means to me
A system that mixes knowledge, skill, experience, and ideas to create new values in glass art. With glass at the center, members who can interestingly "share" and "fuse" have come together — that, I think, is 70's.
The purpose of this activity
Through every activity related to 70's creation, to stimulate the motivation of each member and of those aspiring to glass art.
What I want to do in this group
I want to create moments where people can feel "ah, this world of glass is fascinating, I want to enjoy it more." To dream together, and take action to make those dreams real.
