CHAMPS 2025 MASTERS FINALS

The 2025 CHAMPS Trade Shows Masters Final this February was Surreal! 27 of the Top Artists in the American Glass industry went to Heady 2 Heady for a Grand Prize of $20,000! Artists were given 14 hours of Flameworking and 7 hours to prepare a display for their entry. This year's theme was “Ignite the Surreal” and the competitors did just that! Spectators were left speechless, needing to scrape their jaws off of the show floor after viewing each entry.
