FUTURE CLASSES
LET’S ALL DO A PROJECT WORKDAYS
We have decided to add a special workshop for those who like to work in a group instead of working at home alone. This is the perfect way to work on Gifts or to finish that project that is gathering dust on the workbench.
We are blocking table time on selected nights and Saturdays so people can come in and work on a project in the company of other glass people. You choose your pattern or project and come in and work, although some free patterns will be available at each workday. You will have access to grinders and selected shop equipment and Barbara and Debbie will be around to help you if you have a problem or need advice.
Each student will need to bring all their soldering materials and supplies. As with other Brazos Glasswork classes things you buy during class time are eligible for a discount. You can come and go as you like however since Table space is limited, reservations are recommended.
When: These classes will be held throughout the year.......watch for new dates and times!!!!!!!
Cost: $15.00 per session. Sign up for 2 or more sessions and receive a 15% discount.
