Classes/Workshops

Make your own personalized photo or art pendants and charms. Bring your photos of family, friends, pets, places, artwork* -- or find some colorful artwork from books and magazines at the class. These pendants and charms encapsulate your personal memories and fun inside glass, with decorative silver soldering adorning the outer edges. This is a great class for beginners! You will learn how to cut glass, steps of assembly, and soldering techniques. Make pendants for yourself, or as great personalized gifts for family (think "Mother's Day") and friends. You may bring a chain, ribbon, or bracelet to attach to your finished pieces. *Photo and art display area will range from 1/2" to 2", depending on the piece, so the part of the photo you wish to use needs to fit within that size range.

In addition to the tuition, there is a $15.00 supply fee paybable in cash to the instructor the day of the class.
