Choice of projects as a guide: Picture 6"x 6", wave or curve 7cm x 16.5cm and finally a wish stick. So, you could create: a) picture and a wish stick, b) two waves or curves (subject to size described) and a wish stick, c) three wish sticks. Alternatively, tealights can be made. See my Facebook page @Jowanstainedglass
Further workshops could include coasters. If you would like to make more or even larger projects, discuss this with me and we can agree a price. You will need to bring an apron and a mask. If you have one, please also bring in a craft knife. Refreshments will be provided.
