The Warm Glass Magnet Exchange began in 2002. 

That year, 120 glass artists agreed to exchange small fused magnets. 

The event was such a success that it has been continued, and is held once a year.

The exchange is announced in fall and the actual exchange takes place early in the following year. 

Photos and links to information regarding current and previous events can be found below.
