Rainbow Fused-Glass Suncatchers

with Rachel E. Brace
June 27, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Tuition: $250
Materials Fee: $30

Celebrate color, light, and queer joy in this beginner-friendly fused-glass workshop held in honor of Pride Month. Participants will design and create their own radiant rainbow suncatcher using a vibrant selection of transparent and opaque glass. We’ll cover the basics of cutting, shaping, and arranging glass, as well as an introduction to glass properties and kiln firing. This workshop welcomes participants of all identities and skill levels—no previous glass experience needed. Come explore in a playful, affirming space where creativity and community shine.

Plan to bring: water bottle, closed-toe shoes, and comfortable natural-fiber clothing suitable for a hotshop environment. All glassblowing tools and materials will be provided.

Location: Main Campus - 3435 Rupprecht Way, Saugatuck, MI 49453
