About this Event
Overview of Course
Create wonderful projects using various recycled glass containers like pasta sauce, mayonnaise and coffee jars. These can be painted with glass paints using outline stickers as a template, to create colourful lanterns that you can illuminate using either candles (wax or battery) or light strings. These can be used for those evenings sat in the garden or as mood lighting around the house. They can also be turned into decorative pots to hold flowers, pens or sweet gifts.
The finished item can be embellished with glitter, metallic ink stamps, beads, acrylic gems, string and ribbons to give them a bespoke look turning them into gifts for family and friends or handcrafted decorations for your own use.
Enjoy making something to amaze yourself, family and friends with. You do not need to be artistic or able to draw, just use your imagination and enjoy a relaxed creative session with lovely finished items to show off
