Allan B. Brown Regular Member Workshop Seminar  The goal of the Allan B. Brown Glassblowing Seminars is to teach our members techniques in scientific glassblowing that will elevate their skills to a higher level. The highly skilled instructors selected for these Seminars will demonstrate methods to produce scientific apparatus and then assist each student in the fabrication of the same item.  The Seminars will be offered to ASGS Regular, Retired, and International members who are registered for the Symposium. For registration, priority will be given to Regular Members and as such, will be available only to Regular members for the 30 days following the date registration opens. If there are still openings available after that time, I will be using a registration by application process for any interested non-Regular members similar to the model currently being used by the Junior Member Workshop.

Pecos St. Suite #220 Westminster, CO 80234 Selected applicants will be notified and invoiced by the National Office when they have been awarded a seat in this seminar. Loading…
