About the speaker
Meet our April speaker, Clifton Crofford
As Executive Director of SiNaCa Studios School of Glass and Gallery, Clifton promotes the rich tradition of glass as a creative medium through education, studio access, and community involvement. The SiNaCa facility—a renovated gas station in the Near Southside District—has become a cornerstone of the Fort Worth art scene. In addition to the gallery, SiNaCa offers glassblowing classes for all skill levels, from curious beginners to seasoned professionals.
As an artist, Clifton is strongly influenced by symbols both ancient and contemporary, the nature of relationships, and the inherently relentless spirit of humanity. His work is inspired by nature and life, drawing influences from relationships both experienced and observed.
Come hear his “hot takes” on making art in Fort Worth!
