                                                                              "Make a Terrarium"

                                                                              Picture

You'll spend two hours with some classmates and a great instructor who will keep it both safe and fun. In the end, you will have made your own terrarium to house living plants.  We will send you on your way with instructions to get your terrarium started.  A starter kit will be available for a small additional fee, living plants not included. (The terrarium itself will need to be picked up days after the event, as blown glass needs to cool slowly in an annealing oven.)

                                                                              Our price for the class is $160 per person.

                                                                              Tuition for the class is $180 for 1 group of 4 students.  Click the link below to find a class time and register.

                                                                              Picture

Our current beginner offerings are great to get you started in the art of working glass. But what if you're just looking for the experience? What if you just want something totally different and fun to do with your friends or co-workers? You've already tried rock climbing. Maybe you've even thrown yourself out of a perfectly good airplane? BAGI's glass experience may be just right for you (although way, way less scary!)

                                                                              You'll safely experience working with 2000°F molten glass at the end of a turning steel rod. You'll spend two hours with some classmates and a great instructor who will keep it both safe and fun. In the end, you will have made a glass paperweight, a glass flower (no kidding!), and you will have had a great time.

                                                                              Tuition for the class is $180.  Click the link below to find a class time and register.

                                                                              Our price for the class is $160 per person.
