Proceeds from this event benefit The MIT Glass Lab, where the MIT community can learn and practice the art of glassblowing.
The Great Glass Pumpkin Patch came to MIT in 2001 after a residency in the Glass Lab by 14 members of the Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI).
The Bay Area Glass Institute (a non-profit corporation located in San Jose, CA), was founded in 1995 by San Jose State graduate Bobby Bowes and MIT alumnus Mike Binnard.
Every week or so, beginning, intermediate, and advanced students work together for a few hours in teams of six or seven to produce pumpkins for the sale.
Production for the October event continues steadily throughout the year in order to achieve our goal of 2,000+ pumpkins.
