Creative Glass Guild of Queensland

Call Directions Website

Creative Glass Guild of Queensland Discover the art of creating with glass! The Guild became strong enough to no longer need to be attached to Ithaca TAFE and became an incorporated association.

Offering courses in leadlighting, copperfoiling, mosaics, glass beadmaking, glass fusing & slumping, plus contemporary & traditional stained glass painting. In 1979, a group of hobbyists inspired by a visiting English glass artist, started the Creative Glass Guild, based on the traditions of original medieval craft guilds. They gathered in various venues, before finding their first permanent home in the Presbyterian Church Hall, Oleander Drive, Ashgrove. In the early 1980s, leadlight courses were organised by the Ithaca TAFE (Tertiary and Further Education) with tutors being Creative Glass Guild members. Its premises were St David's Hall, Ashgrove. In 1994, the Guild acquired the Scout clubhouse in Fulcher Road, Red Hill. Over the years since its beginnings, the Guild has had periods of high and low membership, and still has members from the early 1980s. The Annual Exhibition for members to display and sell work has been held since 1994. The Guild is a self-sustaining organisation providing skills used in restoring Queensland properties, in a field with diminishing commercial operators.

Members and supporters of the Creative Glass Guild - we need your help to spread the word!

Our annual Glass Showcase is fast approaching, and we need everyone to get behind it! While we’re doing what we can through the Guild’s social media, we can’t do it alone.

If you’d like to see a great turnout, please take a moment to share our Showcase posts with your friends, family, local community and other creative groups. Every share helps us reach people who might not otherwise know we exist!

As well as this, we need our members to come and pick up some postcards from the Guild and share them to your family and friends, local cafes and businesses.

We all have a part to play in making the Showcase a success, so please don’t leave the promotion to just a handful of people. The more we spread the word, the more people we can bring through the door! 🙌

Apparently “cathedral core” (the use of lead lighting and stained glass) is the next architectural trend. We were already well ahead of the times it seems.

Stained glass gets a secular spin as designers and homeowners opt for colorful, handmade panes that deliver us from dull decor. Hallelujah!

A little Guild gathering at the MAANZ Symposium 2026

Some of our Creative Glass Guild members joined mosaic artists from near and far at the international MAANZ Symposium 2026. They enjoyed attending hands-on workshops, sharing ideas and celebrating the creativity of this wonderful art form.

It’s always great to connect with the wider creative community and bring a little extra inspiration back to the Guild!
