Your next opportunity to paint with specialty crystal glazes is Sunday, January 26th, in the Good Day party room from 2-5PM. Your $5 entry ticket saves your seat & covers all instruction, snacks & access to our specialty glazes!
We'll be using our new crystal glazes to paint the decorative piece of your choice as crystal glazes are not "food safe". Pieces & prices will vary. Crystal glazes are full of tiny bits of glass that melt during firing - guaranteed to create a unique piece every time!
This event is open to ages 14 & up, adults 21+ may BYOB. Advance purchase tickets from our website are required! Our front studio remains open for walk-in painting during party room workshops & classes.
