Optional BYOB Two-Hour Fused Glass Pendant-Making Class or a Stained-Glass Scrapbook-Jewelry-Making Class ($44 Value)

Value: $44 From: $21

Glass provides a resting place for wine, eveningwear for Cinderellas, and a more dramatic exit from 44th-floor windows for Bruce Willises. Shatter artistic inhibitions with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

Students learn to cut and assemble hanging ornaments in the fused-glass-pendant class. Using the studio’s tools and all included materials, glass workers craft a decorative trinket, which staffers then fire in the kiln. Crafters can add a pin or bail to their project to transform it into a wearable piece of jewelry. Alternatively, crafters of any level can learn the beauty of refracted light during a two-hour stained-glass scrapbooking class, which guides participants through the steps of fashioning a wearable piece of scrapbook jewelry. Students bring in prints from home—such as copies of photographs, pieces of artwork, or important plot points torn out of _The Great Gatsby_—so they can sandwich their prized pictures between two 1.5”x1.5” sheets of clear, beveled glass. Pupils then solder the pieces of glass together and add embellishments, such as eye-catching wire wraps and beads.
