Review for Bay Area Glass Institute Inc, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've been involved with BAGI for nearly 15 years and have seen its impact extend and the organization grow stronger.

Many of the teams I lead have come to BAGI for a team building experience, getting hands-on with glass art and bringing back both a personal creation and a team-designed piece. Lots of local companies, including Google, Apple, Adobe, Cisco, Intuit, GoDaddy and many others have held events at BAGI and come away energized by the experience.

The Great Glass Pumpkin Patch that BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center have sponsored since 1995 continues to delight school children during their visit during the week with a field of beautiful glass pumpkins to learn about handmade glass art and then generate income for dozens of local glass artists from the sale that occurs on the weekend.

And artists can rent time in the studio to advance their careers while students and artists-in-training come take classes to grow their skills.

It's worth signing up for a class or coming to a demo to experience it yourself.
