Come spend a relaxing day crafting your very own stained glass propagation station with local artist and EFG team member,
Jenn McIntire aka

Participants will get a brief history and overview of the Tiffany copper-foil stained glass technique while you choose your own glass from a large selection of pre-cut glass pieces in a wide array of colors, textures, and opacities, then design and create your own unique work of art.

No previous experience in glassmaking(or plants) is needed!

All materials needed to create and hang your plant propagation station will be provided and all participants will leave with their completed piece of stained glass.

Let’s perk up some windows, make some new plant-babies, and make glass magic happen!

Note: this workshop is scheduled for 3.5 hours, you may need more, or less, time to complete your piece, please allow for some flexibility.
