Ever since the first craft guilds were formed in the middle ages, those who practice in a given field have banded together for the good of their profession and for the good of their patrons. Our Professional members are experienced craftspersons, artists, designers and historians whose primary vocation is in the industry of stained glass.
Professional Membership is open to individuals and companies that fabricate, repair, restore, retail, manufacture, and/or distribute products/supplies for the leaded, stained, and/or decorative art glass craft.

"If I had not found the SGAA, I would never be where I am today - I would never have met the people I work with and partner with now, and my studio would not have achieved the growth that it has in the last several years. And it has been especially meaningful now, in this pandemic, to have this community for support."
- CTAG, Illinois"After being an affiliate member for years, I finally attended my first conference – and was immediately enfolded within the SGAA with the comradery and knowledge freely shared. The members that I met at that conference (and many of the subsequent ones) became my friends and more importantly, MENTORS. With their encouragement, I applied for the professional membership. The vetting and formality of the application really makes gaining the approval and verification so much more meaningful because it is not just about paying more – it is about a professional recognition."
