(NEWARK, NJ) -- Twenty five years ago, GlassRoots started as a table and two torches at the Boys and Girls Club of Newark. A small number of students joined them once a week for an after school flameworking class. A few years later, they moved into their current space at 10 Bleeker Street: a 5,000 square foot glass art center that serves 5,000 individuals annually. Collectively, they've reached 40,000 people over the past 25 years and currently offer a dozen programs serving participants ages 8 - 80.
