Minors will be precluded from operating large power tools which may impact their ability to fully participate. Refunds must be requested 72 hours in advance of class. Cancellation after will result in forfeit of registration fee. Arrival more than 15 minutes late will result in not being able to participate. Participants must sign MakeHaven waiver to participate. Parents/Guardians must sign waiver on behalf of minor.

Come by to learn the bottle cutter; Learn the process to take a wine, beer, juice or other glass bottle and transform it into cups, bowls, lighting fixtures, wind chimes, whatever you like! Learn to score the bottles and use the water shock method of cracking to separate the glass. We will also be sanding down the edges.

 

BYOB if you can. Best bet: remove the label ahead of time (soaking in baking soda and water for 30-60 minutes helps a lot!) Or drop off a bottle to soak at MakeHaven in the morning. We will also have a handful of bottles to use if you are bottleless. Feel free to bring your lunch if you like.

 

We will start at 11:30 but if your lunch time is restricted and you need to come later, just make a note of it.
