Class Description:

Create a luminous, one-of-a-kind glass dragonfly that seems to shimmer and come to life as it catches the light. Each piece is mounted on a natural stone, creating a beautiful, dimensional sculpture perfect for your home or a special spot in your garden.

In this welcoming, beginner-friendly class, your dragonfly form will be ready for you to bring to life—so you can focus on the fun and creative part. You’ll design and embellish the wings with delicate glass details, adding fine lines and accents that give them a light, airy feel.

The body becomes your focal point, where you’ll incorporate shimmering dichroic glass and colorful elements that reflect light and shift with movement, giving your dragonfly its own unique personality.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process, with plenty of room to make creative choices along the way. No experience is needed, just come ready to enjoy the process and create something truly special.

Each finished dragonfly is completely unique, with its own color, sparkle, and character—a piece of art that feels both natural and full of life.
