Among the dynamic opportunities available to young people at GlassRoots are:
Glass bead making with master lampworking artist, Rosita Walsh
Glass casting
Kiln-formed glass
Graphic Design
Business skills programs
Field trips for participants
Workshops for teens are held weekdays after school and Saturdays. Open Studio Sessions are also available on Saturdays.
The heart of the GlassRoots program consists of introducing new creative media into the lives of young people who, upon mastering specific skills, use these media for creative self-expression.
It is a joy to witness the pleasure and new formed self-esteem evident on a young artist's face upon creating the perfect piece of glass art, the most expressive poster, or the most luminous tile.
The creative process and the planning of the projects are almost as important as the outcomes.
