Bay Area Glass Institute

The Bay Area Glass Institute was formed in 1996 to fulfill two goals -- to educate the public about glass art and the community of glass artists in the Bay Area, and to help students and young artists pursue careers in glass. The Institute educates the public by hosting exhibitions, teaching classes and inviting the public in to an operational glass studio. It assists young artists by providing studio access and opportunities to show their work. Among the great glass works to come out of this group are the popular Glass Pumpkins.
