Vision

BAGI is the only public access glass-working facility in Santa Clara County that has fully functional glassblowing, fusing and torch working studios. We offer hands-on glass experiences that educate and inspire Silicon Valley residents to connect with their creative side. We will continue to expand our educational, outreach, and team-oriented programs to better meet the growing needs of the local community.

​

Mission

The Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI) provides accessible, hands-on glass experiences that educate and inspire current and future generations of patrons, students and artists.

Programming

As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, BAGI is funded in part by the City of San Jose's Office of Cultural Affairs. We educate the public about art glass by teaching a variety of glass-working classes, offering free public demonstrations, and bringing in international and locally renowned guest artists to conduct free demonstrations and lectures. BAGI cosponsors  the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch®. BAGI's goal is to continue expanding its education and program offerings to artists and the general public.
