What to Expect:

  • Design and create your own stunning faux stained glass art.
  • Use special techniques to achieve the look of real stained glass.
  • Make a beautiful summer decoration to take home and display.
  • All materials provided—just bring your creativity!

Don't miss this chance to craft something unique, express your artistic side, and welcome summer with a dazzling suncatcher!
