The GEEX BIPOC Co-learner Affinity Group creates a supportive environment for BIPOC co-learners to meet, network and be seen in a community of peers across the field of glass.
Who is this for?
This group is open to BIPOC-identified people learning and working with the material of glass. We use the term “co-learner” to expand the boundaries of “students” to include: recent graduates, self-taught individuals, people in high school, as well as emerging and mid-career professionals that are interested in supporting younger glass learners.
