About
Young artists ages 4-13 LOVE our Kids Classes! Watch their eyes light up as they're given the opportunity to explore their own style in this beginner glassworking class. Students will work alongside our talented glass artists to plan, design, and create their own custom pendant necklaces. The best part? They won't even realize they're learning! Each pendant is made from Borosilicate, the same type of glass as Pyrex. Since we use extra durable materials, you can worry less about them chipping on the playground. Invite up to 6 participants to make their very own necklaces at just $25 each. Minimum 2 pendants to book class.
