CUT GLASS WITH PEACHES & GRAPES

Sat & Sun, June 28 & 29, 2025

9:00 AM to about 4:00 with one-hour potluck

Step by step I will guide you through this complex, but exquisite, still-life painting.  Cut glass presents challenges, which is one reason why we want to paint it.  There is one prerequisite; you need to transfer the drawing before class begins.  I will send you the drawing or you can arrange a time to stop by my house and transfer it with assistance.  Don't be scared!  You can do it!

What they're saying ...

These lessons were magic! In two days I learned more than I could have learned elsewhere in a year. I gained self-confidence in art and learned a lot of clever techniques. Thank you, Carol Liz.
