Glass workshops at Del Ray Artisans

This July make a glass "gingerbread" house, stained glass pendant, or glass box for fun!

Grown-Ups Art Camp offers over 30 workshops (day, night, weekday, weekend)—for anyone and everyone—scheduled from June 29 through July 17, 2015. Register for as many workshops as you want!

Three different glass workshops are being offered: “Making Glass Boxes”, “Building Glass (Gingerbread) Houses”, and “Stained Glass Pendant”. No previous experience necessary. The first two workshops offer pre-cut glass pieces for assembly; while the pendant workshop teaches you the basics of glass cutting. More information below on each workshop.
