The 20th International Sea Glass Festival will be held at Mystic Seaport Museum on July 26–27. Shop and support International Sea Glass Association (ISGA) artists (50+ vendors) who will be selling their creations, learn about sea and beach glass from experts, view collections, and enter the Sea Glass Contest! Vendors will be set up on the village green and talks held in the Clagett Boat Shed.
The International Sea Glass Association is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 to support sea and beach glass collectors around the world. This premier organization is unique as it aims to educate the collector, consumer, and retailer about the properties, benefits, and value of genuine, pure, unaltered sea and beach glass.
