ACC Glass Program Mission Statement

Community:
We strive to create a community with open communication that supports personal integrity and self motivation.

Technical:
We focus on developing better off-hand glass blowing and coldworking skills as well as a solid understanding of how to use glass as a creative material. We also develop a through understanding of the operation, maintenance and safety of all machinery in the glass studio.

Aesthetic:
We encourage an exchange of aesthetic ideas in an open environment and we pursue an artistic exploration of design in glass.

Career: 
We help the students formulate a better understanding of the key issues required for a career in glass. We discuss and explore the basic business methods, approaches, challenges and opportunities that await the student.

This mission statement was created by the glass students themselves and it is frequently reviewed and adjusted to reflect the ever changing field of contemporary glass.
