John Burton Program

Welcome to John Burton Program

Mission Statement
The John Burton Program is a grassroots, educational, self-help organization established in 2009 to celebrate excellence in flameworked glass. Beginning as a resource web site, this non-profit entity exists to promote independent studies through on-line courses, seminars, and its growing internet library. The John Burton Program will facilitate and document juried exhibitions of art work for exhibit and sale. John Burton, our name sake, was a metallurgist/chemist whose interest in creative flameworking inspired the 1960’s glass community through his teaching and techniques to hand color borosilicate glass. The program is dedicated to educating and inspiring creative people in the art and science of flameworked glass.
