Hoppy Easter Fused Glass Workshop

Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 6:15pm

You are invited to join us for an evening of early Easter Bunny workshop fun before the instructor disappears into a snowbird!

Come learn the magic of fused glass and make any design that you’d like.

This class is challenging and requires the use of 3 different tools. I don’t recommend this design for a beginner, but it can be done for sure! I would rate this a level 7 from a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the hardest.

Choose from making a nightlight or an LED lit up wooden display (included).

Nightlight 3.25″ $39 (push button unit included). W/Lit up LED wooden display base $49, size 4.5″x 4.5″ glass only without wooden base $42.

Please click HERE for tickets.

All materials will be provided and we will be using 3 tools to cut our project. We will also use a tracing method for ease in making your design. You will create your design by using a special tac glue as an adhesive.

All projects will go home with the instructor to be kiln fired and will be delivered back to the class location in about 10-12 days. Email will be sent out with pickup instructions. Your ticket fee includes the venue rental, class instruction, glass materials, supplies and a kiln firing.
