Tips & Advice
- Have everyone in your group arrive 15 minutes before your registered session time so nobody misses the start of the ornament-making process.
- Enter a name, email and phone number for each participant when booking, because every person receives their own ticket and must bring it.
- Plan a return trip the next business day to pick up your ornament, since the glass cools overnight and the gallery is closed Sunday and Monday.
- Add the silver ornament stand at checkout if you'd like something to display the finished ornament on at home or in the office.
- Stay after your turn to watch other guests working in the hot shop or to look at the glass art your instructor has made.
Special Events & Promotions
- Silver ornament stand available as an add-on for an extra charge.
- Shipping of your finished ornament available for an additional fee.
