Event Overview

Personalize two pieces of glassware as you learn glass etching, a chemical process that leaves a permanent waterproof design on the surface of the glass. Learn techniques and get tips on producing the perfect etched design. During this hands-on class, you will be provided with the materials, tools, and design stencils needed to create two personalized pint glasses, high-ball glasses or two champagne flutes. Keep the one-of-a-kind glassware for yourself or give them as gifts! The glassware is included in the cost of the class.
