A bunch of teachers went out for my birthday and made a couple glass bowls, plates, hanging decoratives and even jewelry.
Glass art is intimidating and I had no idea what to expect. However, there is a tutorial on the different types of glass you can use to arrange your art and the many tools you can use, from shards you can shave and cut down to fine glass in grains of sand.
Once the glass is arranged on its block, someone comes and puts it in the oven for a 16 hour bake. In about a week, you are able to pick up your art piece.
I was able to create something with existing pieces of glass but my friends were able to create landscapes, designs and flowers using tools their first time.
All the while, I enjoyed a cherry cider. Keep the cover on the top so when small bits of glass fly, it doesn't land in your beverage.
We all loved it and spent the entire time there creating and marveling at other pieces of art work.
I can't stop thinking about going back and trying a Jim Morrison silhouette (they do portrait classes)!
Saturday nights there is a live band.
