Group Classes
We are more than happy to hold classes for groups of 4 or more. Maybe your book club would like to do something different or your Red Hat group wants to come and make a pin to match their outfits. Whether it’s a gals night out making jewelry or a birthday party, we have projects for all ages, skill ranges and budgets. There are several inclusive classes in which the materials are included in the class Fee. Ask for a list today! There are also lots of examples around the shop and on our website for projects that can be made. Maybe you and your friends would like to learn to create a fused plate, or your family would like to come and make stepping stones. Perhaps your children and a few friends would like to make a fused bowl. The options are endless. Another benefit for group classes is that we will work around your schedule. Classes should be scheduled a minimum of a week in advance and a deposit is required to hold the date.
