Let your imagination go with something different this holiday season! Explore the process of combining clay and glass in the kiln as you create your own holiday ornaments. Join Millean for two mornings of multi-media fun in time for holiday decorating and gift giving. In this two-part interactive session, participants will learn how to hand-build using low fire clay as well as how to create fused glass cabochons using 96 COE glass and Glassline paint. All project materials and firings included. Beginners are welcome! This is a great activity to do with the junior crafter in your life. When: Saturdays, November 8 and 15, 2025, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $165 + HST (includes all project materials and firings)

The winter woods exude a quiet peace — snow resting gently on pine boughs, dry aspen leaves whispering as cardinals in their brilliant winter plumage dart and play. The joy of the first snowfall invites us to pause, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of the season. In this three-afternoon workshop, you’ll capture that serene winter magic by creating your own one-of-a-kind landscape greeting, beautifully framed in a custom 10 x 24-inch metal frame. Your masterpiece will showcase the remarkable versatility of vitrigraph kiln techniques, Glassline paint, and layered glass engineering. Participants will learn to create vitrigraph rods, experiment with frittage, and explore our newest vittrage technique. Once assembled and mirror-backed, your finished piece will be a stunning showstopper — bringing a sense of calm and beauty to any home all season long. All project materials, firings, and metal frame are included. When: Saturdays, November 8, 15, and 22, 2025, from 1 to 4 pm Fee: $495 + HST (includes all project materials, firings, and metal frame)

Contemporary design meets form and function. Join Elizabeth for a rewarding day of creativity as you craft a beautiful 12 x 16-inch fused glass serving tray using the technique of layered bas relief — a low-relief sculptural method where designs are gently raised above the background, adding interest, depth and texture. Working with Duraboard and Durafibre of varying thicknesses, participants will create dimensional textures with 96 COE double-thick clear and coloured cathedral glass. All project base glass, fibre materials, and firings are included. Coloured cathedral glass not included. Participants must bring or purchase two to six coloured cathedral 96 COE sheets (minimum 1/3 of a standard 12 x 12-inch sheet per colour). Contrasting or variants of warm or cool tones in light to medium density will best show the detail. When: Saturday, November 29, 2025, from 10 am to 4 pm Fee: $195 + HST (project base glass, fibre materials, and firings are included) + two to six colours of cathedral 96 COE sheet glass

The beauty of light dancing across shiny glass brings warmth and elegance to any space during the holiday season. Add a touch of function, and it becomes the perfect opportunity to create a fused glass mosaic piece to gift — or to keep and enjoy yourself. Inspired by the tradition of glass mosaics made with tile adhesive and grout, this simplified fused glass technique allows for layering and illumination, adding depth and brilliance to your design. Over two creative evenings, participants will learn how to apply, grout, and layer 96 COE glass and accessories to create a 10-inch half-round piece of clear sheet glass. Each participant will choose from: A. A wall/stocking hook design B. A candle screen C. A Hanukkiah All project materials and firings are included. When: Thursdays, December 4 and 11, 2025, from 7 to 10 pm Fee: $175 + HST (includes all project materials and firings) + Optional metal display components Optional metal display components: A. Wall/stocking mount with hooks — $65 + HST B. Candle screen — $50 + HST C. Table stand and candle cups — $90 + HST

Add some humour and festive cheer to your home this holiday season with a whimsical mantle light that combines the best of fused and stained glass artistry. Using 96 COE glass and accessories, participants will design and create a playful holiday scene housed within a copper-overlayed, three-dimensional table lamp. Whether you choose Santa sliding down the chimney, Rudolf relaxing in the sleigh, or a sack of goodies ready to be delivered, these charming interactive glass sculptures are sure to bring smiles — and maybe a chuckle — to you and your guests alike. This workshop also covers three-dimensional construction techniques and glass drilling, giving you the skills to bring your festive ideas to life. Participants must select their project kit by December 1, 2025: A. Bear-ing gifts B. Bottoms up Santa C. Relax Rudolf All project materials and firing are included.
