Jose Angel Ruano is one of only two candidates selected for the Glass Art Internship: a partnership of Crafting the Future, GlassRoots & Urban Glass. Angel will be applying his digital media skills to GlassRoots’ programming and marketing efforts through the spring of 2024. He joined the GlassRoots team through the GlassRoots Peters Valley Fellowship where he learned & enjoyed many mediums of art, including blacksmithing, sculpture, & photography. After his Fellowship experience & exhibition, he decided to get more involved with GlassRoots, where he now gladly assists in educating those who are interested in glass art.

Angel has an associate degree in New Media Technology from Essex County College, where he uses a variety of applications for image & video editing, to tie in with his passion for art, in order to advance his contributions to not only the GlassRoots team but to all of his fellow community members.
