Team Building Events
Book your next group event or corporate team-building event at the Bay Area Glass Institute. Blow glass or create fused pieces in our kilns while diving into a fun challenge with your colleagues!
Start the process by filling out an Event Request! This is where you can tell us how many people will be joining us for the event, a couple of dates and times that work for you, and which event package you're interested in: Hot, Cold, or Molten - see below for more details on our various options. Please allow up to 5 business days for a response. Our team processes requests in the order they are received, so the sooner you can take this first step, the better.
We require a minimum of 5 participants to book a group or team-building event. If you want a private event for four or fewer people, check out our "private lessons" instead. All the beautiful pieces you and your group create will be ready for pickup within a week!
Teambuildings and Private Events are booked Monday through Friday, from 10 am to 6 pm. We highly recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance to avoid any disappointment. Accommodating special requests may incur additional fees.
Team Building Packages
Package
Hot
In the Hot Glass experience, the whole group will pick their own colors and work one-on-one with an instructor to make either a glass-blown flower or paperweight in BAGI's hot shop.
For groups of 16 or less, you can upgrade and choose from a bowl, tumbler/cup, or pumpkin (the chosen option will apply to the whole group).
Standard price: $107/person
Upgraded price: $129/person
Package
Cold
In the Cold Glass Experience, participants are introduced to the glass fusing process, which takes place in BAGI's flat shop. You will learn to cut, shape, and layer colored sheet glass in your own design that is later fused into a tile using a kiln.
Price: $88/person
Package
Molten
The whole group will have the experience of both the Hot and Cold packages. This package is recommended for groups larger than 10 people allowing the whole team to remain engaged simultaneously while each making 2 glass items.
Like the traditional "Hot" package, you can upgrade the glassblowing portion of your experience and choose to make bowls, tumblers/cups, or pumpkins together as a group. (This upgrade is limited to groups of 16 or less.)
Standard price: $161/person
Upgraded price: $183/person
Add-on
Team Fused Design
The Team Fused Design allows your team to collaborate on a large, 18"x18" team-fused piece, in addition to whatever package you've already chosen. This is a fantastic team-building challenge, and is great to hang up in the office once it's done.
Note: not recommended for Molten events due to time constraints.
Price: An additional $386 flat for the whole event.

"I booked this event for my team and we had a great time! It was so cool to see how glass pieces are made and our instructors helped us along the way. 10/10 would recommend! We received a lot of help from our teachers and they were super enthusiastic which made it even more fun! You can tell how passionate they are about glass and helping people learn :)"
