• These workshops are perfect for beginners and anyone who appreciates the beauty of glass art. You'll work on a base piece using a variety of fusible glass materials.
• Cstar Design offers monthly themed classes with varying prices. Each session allows you to create a finished piece that will be taken away for firing and subsequently returned to The Dart Centre for collection.
