Celebrate the season with color in this fun and festive flameworking workshop! Students will create delicate sculptural forms from molten soft glass on the end of a wire, using brilliant transparent colors layered over white glass for a vibrant, glowing effect. We’ll shape the glass into playful feather points, lollipops, candy twists, and other whimsical forms that come together to create a sparkling holiday ornament designed to nestle among the branches of your tree.

The finished piece is reminiscent of colorful confetti or tiny fireworks, bringing a joyful burst of color to your holiday décor. Perfect for all experience levels, this workshop is a creative and memorable way to explore the magic of glass.
