Fire and Wine: Fused Glass Snack Plate
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.
