Embrace your holiday cheer!

Brucemore is partnering with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio to bring this popular workshop back to the Art at Brucemore series – but this year it’s double the trees, so double the fun!

You will design a beautiful double glass tree decoration using warm glass techniques. Both trees will share a single stand, so you can create a forest of sparkling trees to brighten your home for the holidays. All materials and instructions are provided, and no experience is necessary to participate. Projects include a wooden display stand.

After creating your tree at Brucemore, all projects are then taken back to the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio for firing in their kiln. Your creation will be ready for pick-up from the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio approximately three weeks following the class date, just in time to decorate for the holidays!

Ticket sales close on December 4 at 5:00 PM, but this workshop often sells out in advance.
