It’s Raining Cats & Dogs for Kids Night Out!

Kitten or puppy–which will your young artist choose?

Our popular Kids Night Out is sure to be a paw-some good time this month. It’s Adopt-a-Pet time at Arts & Glass!  Young artists will paint either a cat or dog to turn into their own ceramic pet (each child will pick at the event).  They’ll also decorate the carrier for their new puppy or kitten friends to take them home in after they’re glazed & fired. Includes pizza and juice.

New Glass Class Alert!

We’re excited to show you the newest design for our Wine & Design class! These mosaic-style glass trays combine a blast of bright color and repeating geometric patterns to create eye-catching and functional works of art. Perfect for beginners and experienced fusers alike, this piece uses a variety of simple pre-cut pieces to arrange pleasing patterns that form a lovely design.

The images above and below show what these trays look like as they’re being built, before they are fired. Once arranged, the pieces are fired into a flat piece. Then they are fired a second time in a ceramic mold for a process called “slumping” which forms them into the tray shape! As soon as our sample is out of the kiln, we’ll post that picture too. (Glass has been pretty popular lately so we’re letting our customers’ artwork get through the kiln first! 😊)

Our first night making these trays will be February 2 at 7pm. We will be adding more classes for this fun project as well!
