BAGI's flat shop is where artists work with flat glass of all kinds to cut, shape, and assemble patterns or shapes. Glass can be assembled here and then put in a kiln to be heated up and fused. BAGI features plenty of working space via several large tables, glass cutting equipment, molds for slumping, and a variety of hand tools available for rental.
