Free Class | Glass Dewdrop Suncatchers!
Join us for our Spring Open House — April 27th!
We welcome you to our studio, located at 4200 Green Valley School Road, in Sebastopol, California, just in time for spring! We will be hosting a FREE glass suncatcher mini-workshops for the community to learn, play, and experience the art of glass flameworking on Sunday, April 27th coinciding with Sebastopol’s Apple Blossom Festival.
Visit us anytime between 10am-5pm and you can try your hand at melting and making your own while you are immersed in the flame and chemistry of working with borosilicate glass. Michael will have the glass rods prepared — so, come right in and expect about 15-20 minutes of “work” time until your suncatchers are ready for the kiln to complete their annealing process.
Please select either morning or afternoon during check-out to reserve your complimentary space.
While you wait, you can peruse the rest of the showroom and our sale of stemware, marbles, vases, and heirloom glass ornaments all in one place. We will also be hosting a seconds sale (products that have minor manufacturing flaws or imperfections, but are still fully functional) We look forward to your visit!
With gratitude,
Michael and Nicolette Dickinson
