ESU Glass Guild Blowout 2024
Glass Blowout 2024
Each year the Emporia State University Glass Guild holds the annual “Blowout.” This event always draws students from high schools, ESU students from all studio areas and other areas of the campus, administrators, families and members of the general public. It always provides a large amount of positive publicity and exposure for the glass program, the Department of Art and ESU in general. A nationally known glass artist will demonstrate hot glass working techniques for the ESU community and the public with the assistance of ESU students.
