Celebrate colour, creativity, and a little holiday magic! Discover the art and science of glass fusing in this festive, hands-on workshop, where brilliant colours and playful embellishments come together to create a seasonal garden or planter stake. Participants will learn safe glass-handling techniques while following a provided pattern to create an 8-inch square fused glass panel featuring festive holiday motifs.
