Create Your Own Workshop Adventure
Visiting Vinalhaven and looking for a memorable, hands-on experience? Whether you're here on vacation or live just down the road, a private fused glass workshop is a colorful way to spend time together.
You bring the group—I’ll bring the glass, tools, and inspiration. These 2-hour workshops are great for families, friends, coworkers, or anyone looking to celebrate, reconnect, or simply try something new. You'll learn the basics of kiln-worked glass, play with color, and create your own one-of-a-kind suncatcher or glass piece to keep.
Workshops are held in my new Vinalhaven studio or, for larger groups, we can find a local venue that fits your needs. The experience is relaxed, creative, and designed for all skill levels. Kids over 10 are welcome too, as long as they're accompanied by a responsible adult.

Color + Light: Suncatcher Workshop
Saturday April 26th 1-3
Union Church Vestry, Vinalhaven
Come make a suncatcher in this 2 hour fused glass workshop. An afternoon workshop introducing kiln-formed glass techniques. After a basic introduction to glass and heat interaction, glass cutting, combining colors, and firing you will create your own fused glass work. I will have 2 different designs that you can choose from to try or you are welcome to create your own design.
Glass fusing is the melting together of compatible glass. You will design and create a fused glass suncatcher and learn basic cutting techniques. During this class you will be working on a clear base sheet (either 4”x4” or 3”x5”) with small bits and pieces of colored glass held in place with a light adhesive to make your own unique design. This simple piece will teach you the basics of fused glass. I will bring your piece back to my studio and fuse it in my kiln and it will be ready for you to pick up within a week of the class.
No prior glass experience is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided. Age 18 and up
Additional project(s) may be purchased at the workshop.
