In mid-May, the Glass Bubble Project hosted a group workshop for Beyond the Challenge 501c3, a special needs support organization in Independence, and the result was a special, creative experience for workshop attendees and glassblower instructors, alike.
Beyond the Challenge is a 501(c)(3) created in September of 2010. They provide support, advocacy, education, and resources to people with disabilities and/or their families to help them get beyond their challenges. The mission of Beyond the Challenge is to advocate for people with special needs to ensure they have opportunities, experiences, and education to reach their highest potential and become fully-integrated members of society. www.beyondthechallenge.com
The Glass Bubble Project is a staple in Cleveland. Located by the West Side Market, next to Mitchell's Ice Cream. Serving Cleveland since 1998 with glassblowing and art. We've evolved but our mission remains bring glassblowing to the masses!
