RiverFire Glass

There’s something about glass in a garden that just feels a little magical. In this spring class, you can create your own vibrant garden stakes, with special inspiration around whimsical birds that catch the light and seem ready to take flight among your flowers. 
Go classic with simple shapes or follow your curiosity into something more playful and unexpected—either way, you’ll leave with a piece that brings color, movement, and a touch of joy to your outdoor space. This is a beginner to advanced beginner class depending on what you would like to make.

Join us for a hands-on, child-led play session designed to engage the senses! Sensory Playtime encourages exploration, creativity, and early learning through touch, sound, and movement. Kids are invited to move from station to station, at their own pace, to scoop, squish, pour, and play with a variety of textures and materials in a safe, supportive space alongside their caregivers. This program supports sensory development, fine motor skills, and social interaction—come play, learn, and make a (little) mess with us!
Essex Library programs are free and open to the public.
