Every October I try to stop by the Bay Area Glass Institute‘s Glass Pumpkin Patch. It’s a fun event with glass pumpkins of all sizes and colors scattered about the grass. I wasn’t entirely surprised to find, as I was going through the MIT Glass Lab‘s pages, a link to their own Glass Pumpkin Patch. It’s a great fund raising idea for a glass shop, after all. But I was surprised to find that the connection was tight. BAGI was founded by an MIT alum and glass blowers from the Bay Area traveled to MIT to work on pumpkins for a September sale. It’s not just computer engineering that links the two locations together. (MIT link via Bifurcated Rivets)
