Light A Spark
​
​
San Francisco's remaining glass-focused education program is open to people and groups or all ages. Our Light a Spark program is based on the idea that everyone should have the opportunity to experience an art-form that builds confidence through collaboration. Working with glass involves understanding the material from a scientific and theoretical perspective, it creates opportunities for people to work together on a team, and requires a sustained focus and a problem solving approach.
​
At Public Glass we want to bring groups to participate, learn, growth and develop through the art of glass. Through the support of our donors and corporate events we are able to offer subsidized programming, workshops and tours for groups looking to expand their knowledge and work with a creative workshop and are working with a limited budget.
