Fused Glass: Clear Christmas Tree (11/7 & 11/14)

Program is Full
Create a beautiful Christmas Tree in this special two-part fused glass workshop!
Bring the holiday spirit to life with a stunning, clear Christmas tree with multicolored ornaments, and it even lights up! This delightful 3-dimensional decoration will be a cherished addition to your seasonal décor, and your family and friends will adore it.

PART ONE: November 7 ~ Join us to craft the layers of your tree by adding colorful bits of glass as "ornaments" to individual clear glass squares. With plenty of support from your instructor, you’ll create unique pieces that will be fused together in a home kiln. These will be ready for you in Part Two!

PART TWO: November 14 ~ Receive your beautifully fused glass pieces, along with a 20-bulb electric light set to illuminate your tree. We’ll guide you through the assembly process, ensuring your creation is ready to take home and enjoy.

Each completed tree stands approximately 6 to 7 inches tall. No prior experience is needed, and all materials are provided! Join us for this festive workshop and create a lovely holiday centerpiece that will brighten your home.

*Recommendation: We recommend you bring a small box to Part Two to protect your tree on the way home.

Community Instructor: Geneen Wise

Geneen has been fusing glass for about 9 years. What started out as a hobby has become her passion, which has led her to teaching fused glass techniques to others. She is excited to share her love of glass and hopes students will learn to enjoy fused glass making as much as she does.

REFUND POLICY:

Important Considerations: As a small non-profit organization, we strive to keep class sizes small and affordable. Please only register for classes you will be able to attend, and reserve cancellations for emergencies and illnesses. Even with the waitlist that we offer for most classes, when you cancel out of a class, the other excited potential participants may have made other plans because the class is full.

This refund policy was established to honor 577's Instructors, to respect the time and energy they invest in preparing for each class, and to encourage class participants to weigh their class registrations carefully and in balance with other potential participants.

If you choose to withdraw from a class, the refund policies are as follows:

Refund via the Original Method of Payment ~ Credit Card, Cash, or Check*:
>>> 100% refund with seven (7) or more business days’ notice prior to the start of class, less a 5% administrative fee.
>>> 50% refund with three (3) to six (6) business days' notice prior to the start of class, less a 5% administrative fee. (If we can fill your spot with another participant, you will receive a 100% refund, less a 5% administrative fee.)
>>> No refunds will be given for cancellations two (2) business days prior to the start of class. (If we can fill your spot with another participant, you will receive a 100% refund, less a 5% administrative fee.)

Refund via Household Credit to use on another class at a future date*:
>>> 100% refund as a Household Credit with seven (7) or more business days’ notice prior to the start of class.
>>> 50% refund as a Household Credit with three (3) to six (6) business days' notice prior to the start of class. (If we can fill your spot with another participant, you will receive a 100% refund.)
>>> No refunds will be given for cancellations two (2) business days prior to the start of class. (If we can fill your spot with another participant, you will receive a 100% refund via Household Credit.)

*Exceptions may be made to this policy in extreme circumstances. Please contact us to discuss options for cancellation in the event of illness or emergency.

**Once a refund is processed as a Household Credit, you may not request a refund via a credit card, cash, or check at a later date.

Donations: In lieu of a refund, you may request your registration fee be donated back to 577 to support future educational programming and a scholarship fund designed to make classes available to all.
