Establish a new tradition as you create One-of-a-Kind Round Blown Glass Ornament with Wayne Manning. You'll make an heirloom ornament, and perhaps more importantly, you'll make memories to last a lifetime!
This workshop experience will take place at ARTworks Vass in our Glass House. Reservations will be required for these classes, as we expect them o sell-out quickly.
During this workshop experience, Wayne will break down the Glass Blowing process into manageable steps, and you'll be proud and amazed by your finished results.

His Custom Ornaments for 2023, are available on our Glass in Vass Page, and you may click here to proceed directly to that listing.
