Nature in Glass: Terrarium Building Basics

Polygonal terrarium with orange hazy lighting.

Turn glass into greenery.

Ever wanted to try stained glass but weren’t sure where to start? This hands-on hybrid workshop walks you through everything you need to build your own glass terrarium—from the first satisfying snick of a good glass cut to planting a tiny living world inside. You’ll learn to cut, foil, and solder glass like a pro, then assemble a sturdy geometric terrarium and bring it to life with soil, stone, and succulent.

When: We'll schedule when 5 people pre-register.

Location: Bend/Redmond/Sisters

Price: $110 + $35 Take Home Kit
