What to Expect

Expect an interactive session focused on the art of botanical decoupage. The instructor will demonstrate how to layer and apply delicate dried florals before participants dive into personalizing their own glassware. You will spend the session experimenting with textures and floral compositions to transform a simple vase into a glowing piece of art. All tools and materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a finished custom creation.

Skills You’ll Acquire

Join us to create stained glass cranes to send to DC for an exhibit to support the trans and NGC community. Note that participants will NOT be keeping their work – all cranes created will be donated to the project for display. Learn more about Eon's Cranes.

Glass workers of all levels are welcome to participate. We will have pre-cut pieces to foil and solder. Those with glass cutting experience are welcome to cut and grind pieces as well.

Meetings usually consist of doing group BJCP style blind judging of the beers ciders or meads people have brought, and an educational presentation or activity. This month we are going to discuss yeast banking. 

For bringing homebrew for feedback: 2x 12oz or similar is good.

Anyone interested in brewing or judging beer cider or mead is encouraged to attend, you don’t need to be a member of the club or MakeHaven! Please RSVP.
