About Us

Welcome to the Silicon Valley Fireflies. We are a local San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers.  Many of us are hobbyists, and some of us make a living from flameworking. We love glass and we love to get together with like minded glass enthusiasts - we would love to have you join us!

The Silicon Valley Fireflies are organized to specifically accomplish the following objectives:
  • To preserve traditions of the art of glass beadmaking and glassworking techniques.
  • To promote educational initiatives on the art of glass beadmaking and glassworking techniques.
  • To promote the appreciation and art of glass beadmaking and glassworking techniques to the general public.

Our chapter is in the West region of the ISGB.  SGB Norcal is another local ISGB chapter centered in the north Bay Area at  www.facebook.com/SGBNorcal. To get more information about our Chapter or find out how to attend a meeting and join, please visit our Contact page.

Our History

The Silicon Valley Fireflies were formed in 2012 by a group of interested flameworkers in the San Jose area. We were interested in meeting once a month during the week (many of our members have commitments on the weekends) to exchange ideas about bead making, and support each other in our art. What started as a small group of about a dozen people around a table  has turned into a mailing list of nearly 70 people, and a vibrant group of attendees at meetings held in public and private studios.
