Create Your Own Paperweight: Returning Fall 2021

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 inches in diameter, and contain sparkly dichroic glass, glass cane, 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.   Appointment times begin at 9:45 am and end at 3:00 pm.

Enrollment, which is first come, first served, begins when we have dates scheduled.  To be on our email list to receive schedules and announcements, send us an email.  

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

We will have glass items for sale on all workshop dates.
