About Ennion
The name of this select group honors Ennion, a glass artist in the Roman Empire in the mid-first century A.D. Ennion was the first glassmaker to sign his name on glass objects that have survived until modern times. Glasses bearing his name are among the earliest datable mold-blown vessels in the world.

Upcoming Ennion Events

I became a member of Ennion to support the Museum and learn more about glass artistry and history. I enjoy being part of this community. I have opportunities like meeting artists that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise.
