Artifact Overview
Artists at the Glass Academy in Dearborn, Michigan, create handcrafted glass products and provide an array of learning opportunities for the community. In 2020, their business, like many others in America, essentially came to a halt during the global coronavirus pandemic--but they found a creative outlet. Inspired, they recreated the coronavirus in glass, donating a portion of their sales to help other small businesses.
