Create your own glass suncatcher!
For ages 6+. Ages 6-13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Let your child's creativity shine in this fun, hands-on workshop where kids ages 6 and up will design and create their very own glass suncatchers! All glass pieces are pre-fired for safety—there are no sharp edges.

Children will arrange and glue their colorful designs onto a base piece of glass, which will then be taken to Marcelle’s Studio for kiln-firing. Finished suncatchers will be ready for pickup one week later.

Children's Mosaic Class

Join Marcelle Rollinger for this hands-on mosaics class! Kids aged 6 and up will create their very own mosaic masterpiece! In the first session, students will carefully glue colorful glass and ceramic tiles into a wooden frame.  

In the second session, students will grout the spaces between the tiles to set the glass in place. Then, they will add a personal touch by painting the frame of their piece to bring their artwork to life! It's a perfect blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and fun that will leave your child proud of their one-of-a-kind project!"
