Notable in workshops is this local artist who has taught at the Pilchuck, Chihuly's Glass School in Stanwood, Washington, The Corning Glass Museum in New York, and was guest lecturer at the Smithsonian Studio Arts Program.

Participants will use clay to create a relief from which a mold will be made and then the molds will be loaded with glass for a kiln firing. The following weekend they will do minor cold working to finish their pieces. Mold making, kiln firing and annealing will be covered.
The cost is $285 and includes all materials. For more information and to register contact Suzanne Gerttula at the Studio Artists Gallery at 662-7485 or sgerttula@yahoo.com.
