Paperweight Making Glass Workshop

This class was amazing. It was a small (4-person group) so we each got a lot of hands-on support and ample opportunity to try out the techniques. Our instructors were fantastic!

Glass Class!

The class was fun and small and I can't wait to see what we made, which is the only down side you don't get to take what you made home with you, obviously. They will ship, for a fee. The studio is lovely.
