Gift Series - Purchase 1 class for $30, 2 for $25 each, 3 for $20 each or all 4 for $15 each
We are offering a unique group of classes to help you plan for your holiday gift giving. Come in to pick up a supply list
and see a sample of each project on display at the store. We’ll bet you’ll want to make all four projects.
Class 1: Cast Snowflake Wine Glass: Fire your choice of colored glass frit in a snowflake mold. Then we’ll cut the
base off a wine glass and add the snowflake base for a customized wine goblet.
Class 2: Pine Cone Filigree Picture Frame: Learn the shortcuts to easy picture frames but this time we’ll add a
Tiffany-inspired pine cone filigree to take this frame up a notch. What a great wintertime gift.
Class 3: Angel Night Light: This little gem uses a 20mm jewel, a bit of U lead, some scrap glass, two angel wing
filigrees, a night light base and clip. You may choose to have it gold- or nickel-plated for the finishing touch.
Class 4: Leaded Jewelry Box: Create a beautiful bevel-top jewelry box for a special gift. Bring a soldering iron
and rheostat, taper file, solder, flux, needle nose pliers and lead cutter. We will have the boxes nickel-plated for a
little more pizzazz.
