If you have items from a previous class that you would like glued into pendants or earrings, bring them and we’ll finish them up.

Comments from Glass Students
     

"Hi Cherrie, I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for sharing your talent with us.  I had a wonderful time and it was such a fun outlet for me.   Please keep me in mind for all future workshops & classes.  I've been thinking that these workshops would be a great time for me to start on some Christmas gifts. My girls loved their necklaces and they can hardly wait to get started with glass fusing.  You'll surely see us all at your Nov. showing.  Thanks again, "  J

Thanks again for the class. I love all my whimsical jewelry. I am wearing the 3 funny earring pieces and the big face one that was going to be a pin. My husband and son love them. I am going to wear something new each day this week. I went over to the hospital where my husband works and showed him all the stuff. A bunch of nurses came over to look and everyone thought they were beautiful and fun. Thanks again. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning, Cherrie!!”  K

 "Dear Cherrie, I had so much fun at your class yesterday!  I came home and started drawing so many future ideas for the next class and future classes that I want to attend.  My Mother in Law Susan had an absolute blast yesterday as well.  She was so happy being able to create in such a great atmosphere."
