Just in time for holiday decorating or gift giving, this season’s “Bigger IS Better” course is your opportunity to take on that bold fused or stained glass project — with Melanie Kidd’s expert support and guidance.
Celebrate this season with stained glass! Enjoy the play of light through brightly coloured glass this holiday season while learning something new or practicing the craft you have come to enjoy. In this three-morning course, participants will learn how to safely handle tools and materials to cut, shape, foil and solder glass while creating a stunning 8-inch round stained glass poinsettia panel. Once complete, each piece will be ready to display or give as a meaningful holiday gift. All project materials included. When: Saturdays, November 1, 8, and 15, 2025, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $195 + HST (includes all project materials)
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.

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)
