4/26, Tonya's Orchid/Wisteria Class

Date: Saturday, April 26th: 9:30-1:30pm

No experience is necessary so why not ask a friend to join you!

Every flower blooms at a different pace. Some wisteria can take up to eight years before it starts to bloom but oh, it is so worth the wait!

If the wisteria panel is not quite your style, we are now offering this beautiful orchid panel as an alternative.  

In building the wisteria panel you will learn how to score and nip your blooms along with a dichroic hummingbird. This panel is all done in transparent glass to give it that airy soft look of a wisteria vine. You could choose to purchase 1/2 sf of purple, white, yellow, or blue for your flower panel. 

If you're building the orchid panel, you could choose to purchase 1/2 sf of glass also in any color you want.

Includes: 8x12 clear base glass, green glass for leaves, a dichroic hummingbird body for the wisteria, paint for the orchid, embellishments, hanging hooks and kiln firing. You will need to purchase ¼ sf of each of 2 colors to make your wisteria bloom as well as 4-1x1 pieces of dichroic glass for your hummingbird. If you’d rather just purchase a precut hummingbird, you have that option too.  The orchid requires some basic glass cutting, which will be demonstrated. 

This is a 4-hour class so you’re welcome to bring a simple lunch or snack, if you choose to.

Bring: glasses, if you have them. No shorts or open-toed shoes.
