SUMMARY:RETURN TO THE LIGHT — Holiday Edition: Glass Mosaic Candle Holder
  Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There's a reason candlelight sits at the center of so many Dece
 mber traditions. Whether it's the glow of a menorah\, the shimmer of Chris
 tmas lights\, or the quiet hush of the solstice's longest night\, this is 
 the season when we gather the light in close — and gather each other in 
 close with it.\n\nIn this 3-hour workshop\, you'll craft your own 4×4″ 
 mosaic glass candle holder in a holiday palette of your choosing — rich 
 reds and greens for a classic Christmas feel\, or cool blues\, whites\, an
 d silvers for a wintry mood. Mix it up the way you want — there will be 
 plenty to choose from — and some special glitz you make all your own. It
 's a beautiful centerpiece on its own\, a natural fit for a holiday table\
 , and one of the best handmade gifts you can give this season — thoughtf
 ul\, useful\, and glowing with warmth.\n\nHow the class works:\n\n 	The Pa
 lette — I've already done the glass cutting for you\, so you can go stra
 ight into the fun part: choosing your colors and starting your design.\n 	
 The Technique — You'll learn to place and puzzle translucent glass on an
  upright surface\, so it catches daylight beautifully and glows warm once 
 a candle's lit. I teach this technique without grout — in my experience\
 , it lets the colors and light shine through even more beautifully\, givin
 g your piece a more organic\, artisanal glow.\n\nThis is a relaxed\, welco
 ming space with a personal\, supportive atmosphere. No previous art experi
 ence needed — come as you are\, pull up a chair\, and let's make somethi
 ng that shines.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nArt medium: Mosaic - working with pre-cut gl
 ass\n\nPlease note - while all glass is pre-cut\, it is still glass — mi
 nor nicks are possible. Band-Aids are on hand in class\n\nInstructor: Harm
