Fire and Wine: Fused Glass Snack Plate

$50 MEMBER PRICE: $50
Calendar Next available session starts Mar 13, 2026 at 5 pm

Join us for a wine and cheese evening with sommelier Adam Knoerzer (@adamkno) and Chantal’s Cheese Shop.

We’re not snobs, but we do love the perfect glass. Join us for a night of sipping and swirling while you try kilnforming, cheese, and wine. Rosé, red, or white wine, it’s all fine. Forget the formality and just enjoy the experience.

In this fun and relaxed kiln shop experience, you’ll work with colorful glass granules (frit) and glass rods (stringers) to create a unique snack plate. Our skilled artists will guide you through the process of arranging and designing your piece. Once you design it, we’ll fire it so all the pieces become one. After it’s finished and fired it will be perfect for enjoying your favorite snacks and cheeses alongside a glass of wine.

After your hands-on studio time, chat with the sommelier and cheesemonger, enjoy the wine and cheese pairings, relax on the patio, wander the gallery, and watch live glassblowing demonstrations throughout the evening. If you register for a later glassmaking slot, we suggest arriving early to enjoy all this event has to offer.

Cheers to a fun and tasty night. Make-It-Now experiences offer a quick, hands-on introduction to the colorful world of kilnformed glass. In the kiln shop, you’ll learn from a skilled local artist how to design and assemble your own glass creation using glass frit and stringers. In less than an hour, explore how layers of glass come together to form vibrant patterns and images of your own design. Perfect for beginners, these quick experiences let you discover the beauty of working with glass at your own pace and with no heat.

Ages 21+

Guests under 21 not permitted.

Due to the nature of hot glass, items cannot be taken home the same day they are created. All items made in the kiln shop must be heated and fused in the kiln, then cooled slowly. Items are available for pick-up after 5 days. Shipping can be arranged on site the day of your activity.
