Workshop Description

Create your own unique glass Christmas ornaments using kiln-formed glass in this festive hands-on workshop. Guided by artist Madeline Cardone, participants will learn the fundamentals of glass cutting while exploring layering, composition, colour and texture.

Design and create a small collection of personalised glass decorations that will be professionally kiln-fired and transformed into lasting keepsakes. Perfect for decorating your Christmas tree or gifting to family and friends, these handmade ornaments are a beautiful way to celebrate the festive season. No prior experience is required and all materials are provided.
