Here's what some of our past team building customers have said:
​"This event was amazing, far exceeding expectations! I didn't realize just how hands-on it would be, and how well-organized. Having individuals work on the tiles/coasters while each person was called in to work on the molding is such a great set-up. Also the instructors were OUTSTANDING! You guys are truly passionate about your trade, and as students, we can't help but get excited and fascinated to learn more. Thank you so much for a wonderful event, we hope to return for more!"
Sincerely,
Palantir Product Support Team

'Went for a work team off-site and had a blast. We had a large group of ~30, and the staff was so organized and helped us all individuallly make what we wanted within a set of options. I made 4 coasters and a paper weight, and they came out great! Highly recommend visiting BAGI at Kelly Park (there's also a fun disc golf course next door)!"

This private session is a great intro to glass art world.
