What To Expect
Our experience invites participants to create glass suncatcher ornaments they can take home that day!
You'll get to choose a design to create, select from dozens of types of art glass, then learn how to break, shape, and utilize century's-old techniques developed by Tiffany and others to bind the glass pieces together into a finished suncatcher ornament. (And yes, you can take it on a plane.)
Absolute novices welcome!
