Description

Love birch trees? Here is an opportunity to create your own autumn birch forest scene that will be turned into a 4.5” x 4.5” slumped glass dish! Your one-of-a-kind dish is perfect for holding little household trinkets and also makes a beautiful gift.

Students will begin with a clear base and add colored glass to create a picture or abstract design. Choose from a wide range of provided glass scraps or cut your own items from larger pieces. Your dish can be used to hold a candle or jewelry, or set out on a table as an attractive piece of art. Class will include information about different types of glass, fusing basics and types of tools used to cut and break glass.

  • Completed pieces will be ready for pick up approximately one week after class.
  • Ages 16 to Adult.
  • No experience necessary. 
  • $20 additional material fee payable to instructor at class (cash, check or Venmo).
