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.
