GLASSROOTS adds Scientific Glass Apprenticeship program to after-school offerings

Since being founded in early 2001, has offered after-school programs in glass art to at-risk youth in and around Newark, New Jersey. They've also gone beyond art classes to offer training in business skills important to careers in the arts but applicable to a wide range of professions. Now, thanks to a major grant from the Agnes Varis Charitable Trust, GlassRoots will be able to further expand that reach with a new apprenticeship in scientific glassblowing.
