January 25, Sunday
Glass Art for the Garden
Instructor: ArtbyFire in Ballard
5465 Leary Ave NW, Seattle
Noon to 5 pm

Are the dreary, cold days enough to send you into hibernation? Shake those gardening blues, get close to the fire and join us at ArtbyFire for hands-on glass blowing. Choose to make a glass float or flower on a support from a multitude of colors. Wear cotton clothing and closed-toe sensible shoes. Bring sunglasses! Cost is $70 and includes materials.

ArtbyFire needs to anneal all glass made during class. This means that you will not be able to take your glass art home with you on the day of class. Please make arrangements to pick up your glass art two days after class at the store location where you took the class. Will you be traveling from a distance? Click here to send us an email to discuss alternate arrangements to get your finished project to you.

Sign-up now! ArtbyFire requires a minimum class size and a decision to hold or cancel the class must be made by January 8. If it is necessary to cancel the class, the full registration fee will be refunded. If the class is held, we will be unable to refund the registration fee for cancellations after January 8.
