Brucemore is partnering with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio to bring you a unique glass workshop to bring a pop of color to your garden! Using a warm glass technique. participants will pick the perfect glass pieces to design a beautiful butterfly complete with vibrant wings and curly antennas.

This workshop is hosted in the Brucemore Carriage House. All instructions, materials, and protective eyewear are provided. Following the workshop, the instructor will take the projects to the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio to be fired in their kilns.
