HALLOWEEN WITCHES OR CREEPY CRAWLIES (2 weeks) with Linda Jacobs

2 Thursdays: September 17th & 24th *  10:00am - 12:00pm

Add an artistic little witch or a bat, or a spider, or a pumpkin, or . . . . . . whatever you want! Learn how to cut glass and use all the tools. Bring in a picture or draw what you want, and have fun. When your pieces are cut, they will be embellished and trimmed and fused together in the kiln and then refired and slumped on a mold to create a standup person or creature. You claim the bragging rights!

Come paint with us! We'll be painting outdoors together to capture real-time natural light and landscapes. All skill levels are welcome to attend. Please bring your own materials.
