2026 Classes and Events

March 21st, Demonstration at the International Flameworking Conference

I am so honored and excited to be invited to demonstrate at the International Flame Working Conference at Salem Community College this year! I am an alumni of SCC but many people might not know that my first time ever visiting the college was during the IFC in 2017! This was long before I was a prospective student but I remember being enamored by what SCC’s Glass Education Center had to offer. Since then the Glass Center has relocated and expanded in size and scope of the program and I am so excited to be presenting my research and plasma process this year. The IFC is March 20th-22nd this year and I will presenting on Saturday the 21st! More information and registration can be found here.
