Beyond being a repository, CMoG is a living museum: live demonstrations of hot glass, flameworking, and other glassmaking techniques occur daily in its Amphitheater Hot Shop; visitors can try their hand at glassmaking themselves in “Make Your Own Glass” studios. The Rakow Research Library supports scholarship with extensive rare manuscripts, artist archives, and publications; meanwhile, the Studio and the new Glassmaking Institute provide training, residencies, and commissions for artists pushing the medium forward.
