Private Workshops
As long as you can gather at least 5 people, we will conduct a private workshop for children or adults. It will last 3 hours and will consist of either clay hand-building, painting techniques on pottery, or fused glass. $30 per person, all-inclusive.
Call for more info or to schedule your own workshop!
Fused Glass Now Available for Walk-Ins
This art technique uses colored glass arranged in creative patterns to produce a cool fused jewelry like design. The colored glass is heated and “fused” into a single piece at our shop. The end result is always dazzling! Below describes the process
- Choose-the type of project you will make.
- Pick- the pieces of glass from our many colors and sizes
- Attach-all of the glass pieces together to make one fabulous piece
- Leave- your project to be fired in the kiln and you may pick it up in one week.
We now offer monthly fused glass workshops on the first Thursday of the month. $30 per person, with a $10 deposit when you register. Limit 15 people per session.”
