Last Workshop until September ! Glass Tile Pendant - Wed June 23rd

Hi everyone.

We've decided that it's time we took a little break from the workshops so we can focus on dreaming up some new ideas, work on the planning of our upcoming craft show (we're accepting submissions up until August 1st by the way... www.handmadeharvest.com), and take a little breather for the summer. I think we deserve it.

We've also decided to build a space within the shop just for classes so we'll be constructing that over the next months and will eventually be able to offer weekend courses.

So.
Our last workshop will be next Wednesday June 23rd from 6-9pm.
We'll be making glass pendants again.
Cost is $40 and we have 12 spaces available.

Each participant will leave with 3 different pendants...handmade by you!

Please read the attached postcard for details and give us a call, or drop us an email to book your spot.
Happy summer!

Emily & Colleen
