Create Your Own Paperweight: Spring 2025

These classic paperweights make beautiful gifts...or start your own collection!  Select your shape and colors from our examples, and participate in the sculpting process, while John does the steps requiring more experience.  Beginners are welcome.  

They are approximately 3.25 inches in diameter, and contain sparkly dichroic glass, glass stringers, and encased bubbles.  Additionally, we will engrave initials, a name, or brief sentiment and the date on the bottom of your paperweight.

Paperweights are made with guests one-on-one, one-at-a-time, and we can make 2 to 3 per hour. Your piece must anneal and have the bottom surface ground and polished, so you won't be able to take it with you the day of the event.  Paperweights may be picked up at a later time or shipped for a fee.  

We will enroll parties of up to four persons.   Parties making more than four paperweights are subject to non-refundable pre-payment in advance.  Only one person works on each paperweight.

For participants 12 and up; if under 18 a parent or guardian must accompany.   

Cost: $90 per paperweight.
