Slow down for an afternoon of creativity by the water. Join us for a beginner-friendly fused glass workshop where you'll create a colorful 3" × 3" keepsake using pre-cut glass and decorative accents. No experience needed. Just bring your imagination, and we'll take care of the rest. Your finished piece will be kiln-fired after class and ready for pickup or shipping a few days later. Space is limited, so reserve your spot in advance.
