Registration
- Registration form to Glass Roots - the 30th Anniversary Ausglass Conference in Hobart, Tasmania - and associated social events and workshops.
Please download the form, print it and fill it in, and send it in with your payment. The registration fee is
$440 for a full registration by an Ausglass member ($400 to the conference and $40 GST); less for students, more for people who are not Ausglass members. Please note that if you are GST-registered you can recover the GST component, and full-time glass artists may be able to claim the rest of the conference fee off tax as a work expense. Please check with your financial advisor.
If you are not an Ausglass member, we suggest you join. You will pay less, and you will also gain members' prices to the workshops, exhibition, and the benefits of Ausglass membership until 30 June 2009.
January is peak Tasmanian tourism time, and bookings are often hard to get if you leave it too late, or else they are expensive. It will be years until an Ausglass Conference is again held in Hobart. Note that we have negotiated a
discount agreement with the Spirit of Tasmania ferry across Bass Strait.
You can of course just fly in to the Conference Thursdayand out again afterwards Monday. We'd love to see you. However, this is also a perfect excuse to come to Tasmania, by ship or air, and have a great time touring the State before or after the Conference. Register for a Workshop in a scenic place. Get up close and personal with Little Penguins at Diamond Head Resort in Bicheno or on the North-West Coast, climb Cradle Mountain, visit the Dismal Swamp attraction near Marrawah in the far North-West or the Tahune Airwalk in the Southern Forests, see Tasmanian Devils at Bonorong Park near Hobart or at Taranna on the Tasman Peninsula, visit the scenic attractions of Port Arthur, and enjoy the gourmet foods for which Tasmania is famous. Choose from wine, beer, cheese, abalone, scallops, crays, muffins & cream, chocolate, salmon, ocean fish, berries and fruit.
Perhaps you'll want to take in a Workshop. They'll be held all over the State, often in scenic out-of-the wayspots. Check out the
Workshops page. There is a free seminar on Monaday 19 January, offered by AbaF.
