Holiday Snowbird – Solid Project

Our instructors will guide your development and confidence as you learn how to roll into white sparkly glass to create a dazzling sculpted bird.

Add your holiday snowbird to your tablescape when entertaining guests this holiday season or display it in a window to bring you peace and happiness. 

Jumbo Smooch Bowl- Blown Project

This popular class has gotten bigger by 2″. Learn how to roll into color, blow a large bubble and then flatten the air out to create a double-walled bowl! Your instructor then adds a foot on the bottom to give it a lift to provide more weight. This class shows how glass can change shape very fast. The finished project will be the size of a large cereal bowl.

$375.00
