Get Creating with Us!
I think August is my favorite month - something about that late summer sunlight and the beach weather and those loud random cicadas. (Although ask me next month and I'll probably say September because it's the season of new starts and early fall, ha!)
We've got plenty to keep you busy if you've gotten too much sun like Taavi did this week - poor kiddo washed off all his sunscreen in the lake and his cheeks are pretty rosy.
Our shipments came in and our shelves are FULL! So many new pieces, and a bunch of things we've never carried before. Plates are back for your birthday plate designs, and we've got all things strawberry, gnome, and summer fun. Plus, we dug out our Halloween pieces for those of you who love Summerween or want to get a jump on spooky season.
If you're looking for classes for you and a friend to do, check out some upcoming ones! Several sessions for intro to glassblowing or try-the-pottery wheel, and next week is Turkish-style Lamps & Candleholders at Kognisjon on Wednesday, and Fused Glass Woodland Suncatcher on Friday.
Turkish-Style Lamps: Weds 8/12 at 6PM at Kognisjon: occ.sn/bXkGxGVV
Fused Glass Woodland Suncatcher: Fri Aug 14 at 6 pm; https://occ.sn/4nFGwCrm
Two weeks left of summer camps for kids! Next week is Glow & Neon camp in the morning, and Color Explosion in the afternoon - super fun with blacklights, messy art, and more. After that is two sessions of Clay Camp - and the projects for the morning and afternoon are different, so your kiddo could even join us for a full day of clay!
