It is known as the premier event in the world of contemporary glass. The public is invited to attend the celebration, free of charge.
This year, Glass 53 is once again adding live glass blowing demonstrations - thanks to Michigan glass artist, Andrew Madvin and his Axiom Studio which is just down the block from Habatat.
