  • WORKSHOP | I465 | Faerie series, I | Fusing fun: Faerie house lantern

    Summer lights, summer nights — faerie homes that shine so bright. Bring a touch of enchantment to your patio or balcony with these whimsical fused glass lanterns. Designed as tiny glowing dwellings, each lantern becomes part of a magical faerie village that sparkles warmly through long summer evenings. In this playful workshop, participants will use 96 COE glass and studio accessories to design and assemble their own miniature faerie houses in glass. Colour, texture, and layered details will transform simple forms into charming lantern panels that glow beautifully once illuminated. Once kiln fired and assembled with hardware, the finished lanterns can be swapped out or rearranged, allowing your faerie village to evolve and shine throughout the season — perfect for creating a little midsummer magic wherever they are displayed. All project materials, kiln firing, and hardware are included. When: Thursdays, June 4 AND 11, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm Fee: $225 + HST (includes all project materials, kiln firing, and hardware) Glass cutting experience is required. Beginners, please first take an introductory workshop.

  • WORKSHOP | I466 | Faerie series, II | Seasonal garden stake series: Moonlight muse

    Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham, ON, Canada

    The enchantment continues with the second workshop in our Faerie series. Inspired by midsummer magic, the Faerie muse brings a mystical presence to garden spaces, balconies, or glowing window displays. With shimmering iridescent glass, sparkling Mica, and a softly glowing moon, this luminous piece captures the quiet wonder of a summer night. In this two-morning workshop, participants will begin by creating their faerie figure along with delicate firefly companions and graceful branches created in the vitrigraph kiln. A dichroic glass scrap pack is available for those who wish to add extra sparkle to their faerie muse. During the second session, participants will explore the use of Mica, a naturally reflective silicate mineral, learning how it can be incorporated into kiln-formed glass to create a brilliant metallic sheen. The composition is completed with a moon accented with glow pigment, allowing the piece to softly illuminate once the sun goes down. Place your finished faerie among summer flowers or display it indoors where light can catch its shimmering surfaces — and let the midsummer enchantment begin. All project materials and kiln firings are included. Optional: Dichroic scrap pack and Stake hardware When: Saturdays, June 6 AND 13, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $275 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firings) + Optional: Clear dichroic scrap pack/$65 + HST, Garden stake/$95 + HST
