Carder Steuben Club Annual Symposium

We hope to see you September 10-11, 2021 for the 2021 Carder Steuben Club Symposium

Each year the Carder Steuben Club holds a Symposium on the glass of Frederick Carder. The Symposium is held in Corning, New York, generally during the second or third week in September, and is co-hosted by the Corning Museum of Glass. Due to Covid restrictions, the 2021 Symposium will be a virtual Symposium.

Programming for the Symposium consists of lectures and presentations by experts on the glass of Frederick Carder, museum and library scholars, glass dealers and collectors. Members of the Club often participate by showing their collections or sharing some of their specialized expertise. Additional programming and exhibition tours are also done in conjunction with exhibitions concurrently on display at the Corning Museum of Glass and the resources of the Rakow Research Library are also utilized. While the Symposium is focused on the glass of Frederick Carder, programming also covers other subjects related to Carder Steuben glass like contemporary manufacturers, care and conservation of glass, glass photography, glass technology and glass color, among others.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN and available to all who wish to attend. No membership in the Club is required. Cost is $65.00 for two days and 6 different programs. Programs will be recorded and will be available for a week following the Symposium.

The Symposium brochures for the last several Symposiums are set forth in this section as are photographs from several Symposiums. Typically, in July the Symposium brochure for the current year Symposium is posted.
