HOLIDAY SALE
Saturday, December 10, 11 am–5pm
We are celebrating the holiday season with our Annual Holiday Party and Sale. The DCGW teachers and students will have their glass art for sale. Come shop for hand blown glass and sculptures in a variety of media. They make great gifts! Peek into the private studios of DCGW's seven resident artists for more excitement.
Want to make gifts of your own? We will also be offering make-your-own glass ornament sessions. Put your name on the list when you come in and we'll have an instructor there to help you blow your own handmade glass ornament. The cost is $35 per ornament. Ornaments must be annealed and can be picked up from the studio starting on Monday, December 12.
Robot-O-Rama
Saturday, December 17, 3–5pm or 7–9pm
Make the prototype for your robot army! Come in and fabricate an aluminum robot. You make the robot in styrofoam or crew transforms it into cast aluminum.
Robot-O-Rama is lots of fun and great for small groups of all ages. Everyone sits around carving foam while the furnace melts the metal. Then, through the magic of casting, the molten metal becomes your robot. The cost is $65 per robot. Register for the event on the classes page.
