A little sparkle, a little winter magic — and a whole new way to create with glass!

In this festive workshop, you'll learn how to create depth, dimension, and beautiful winter scenes using glass frit, crushed glass, and molds. We'll show you how to layer colors and textures to create snowy landscapes, evergreen trees, and shimmering winter skies that come to life in the kiln.
