20 Minute Workshop Overview

This is a fast-paced beginner workshop — not a precision class. You’ll have one main attempt at your piece, and that’s part of the experience. Our advice: Embrace the imperfections and have fun. Please show up prepared by reading everything below! See you at the torch!

• Show Up 10 minutes Before Your Class Time: We cannot accommodate late arrivals by even 1 minute and there are no refunds. Please plan for parking and walking delays. More info on expected delays and parking below.

• Check-In: For check-in all we need is the Name on the Ticket(s). Once confirmed, each participant signs a waiver — a parent or guardian must sign for anyone under 18. All loose belongings will go in our storage bins. Long hair must be tied back. Everyone gets a pair of safety glasses.

• Choose Your Design and Colors (Photos in Gallery Below): Pick one of 5 designs to make; Leaf, Heart, Twisty, Pickle or Medallion Choose 2 colors from 28 options to personalize your piece. Skulls and Cups are not options for the workshop!

• Safety Briefing: Before anyone touches a torch, you must go through a quick safety briefing. Pay attention — it matters.

• Melt and Shape Your Piece: This is your moment! You’ll get your own torch and workstation. Paired with one other student, your instructor guides both of you step by step through making your piece. At the end, your instructor adds the loop so it can be worn as a necklace.

• Cool Down and Pick-Up: Now your instructor will put your finished piece in vermiculite to cool for about 20 minutes. You’ll get a pickup code based on your class time and workstation. Come back in 20, give us your code, and you’ll leave with your pendant, a necklace, and gift bag.

Refund Policy:

No refunds will be issued unless the event is cancelled. Exceptions may be considered case by case at our discretion.
