The GlassRoots | Peters Valley Fellowship is a free, immersive summer program hosted by GlassRoots in vibrant Newark, NJ and the enchanting Peters Valley School of Craft in rural Layton, NJ. Learn glassblowing, stained glass, blacksmithing, jewelry design and more! Professional artists will provide mentorship and professional guidance as you enjoy the camaraderie of your creative peers. All expenses are paid including housing, meals and transportation, and the Fellowship culminates in an exhibition mounted at both Peters Valley and GlassRoots.

The Fellows close out their summer with an Exhibition Opening Reception and Celebration Dinner at Peters Valley School of Craft. This event celebrates and showcases the accomplishments of the GlassRoots|Peters Valley Fellows. A catered dinner is served followed by presentations by each Fellow showcasing their work, inspiration and journey during the program. This event is open to the public.

In early fall, GlassRoots hosts a Fellows Exhibition and Graduation Celebration in Newark. Select artworks are curated for display at GlassRoots studios or an off-site location in Newark. Their mentor, multidisciplinary artist Ghislaine Sabiti, and past GRPV Fellows work with the current Fellows to curate a cohesive and enticing body of work to exhibit, sell and discuss.
