What a spectacular year 2022 is for the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS). From humble beginnings 25 years ago, it has grown over the years into a thriving and proactive society supporting a membership of over 1,100.

As part of their ambition to support emerging graduates at the beginning of what they hope is a long career in glass making, CGS offers an annual Graduate Prize and produces the New Graduate Review, featuring the work of some of the best of the UK’s glass art graduates emerging from British Universities. To enable CGS to do this, they receive funding and support from the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers of London Charity Fund together with Professor Michael Barnes MC FRCP and our other sponsors, Creative Glass, Pearsons Glass and Warm Glass.
