The 28th Niijima International Glass Art Festival

NIIJIMA GLASS ART CENTER STAFF:

NODA Osamu

After having the festival for 28 years, we have second generation instructor, and some staff members who have been with us since the very first one. With new and old glass missionaries and followers coming together here over rough waves and over from other countries, the annual festival is about to begin. You can either watch us on internet, or come join us here to share the precious time.
