🌿 Did you know the Rocky Mountain Folk School offers private classes? 🌿 ✨ Big things are happening at Rocky Mountain Folk School! ✨ ✨ Add a handmade touch to your holidays! In this festive beginner’s workshop, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind fused glass ornament under the guidance of artist Linda Dewey. Perfect for gifting or decorating your tree—your ornament will be ready for pickup after firing. ✨ From glowing buffalo to shimmering hummingbirds, our recent Glass Fusion class lit up the studio in the most magical way. Each student transformed pieces of glass into a one-of-a-kind night light—proof that a little creativity and guidance can turn into something truly extraordinary. 🕯️ Ready to get spooky with clay? Join us on October 14 to handbuild your very own witch sculpture, then come back October 21 to glaze and finish her just in time for Halloween. No experience needed—just bring your creativity and a love for the season. ☀️ There’s still time to register for our Silk Painted Sun Catchers workshop!
