Many participants source glass from Kokomo Opalescent Glass, Hobby Lobby, or online retailers. Ages 12 and up are welcome. Minors must attend with an adult who is willing to assist as needed. An assisting adult may participate at no charge if they are only helping the minor, while adults who wish to create their own piece must register and pay as students. Closed-toe shoes are required. Prescription or reading glasses can be helpful but are optional. Personal safety glasses and sturdy gardening or safety gloves are welcome if you prefer not to use shared equipment, and thin disposable gloves are not permitted. These items are typically available at home improvement stores. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are welcome, and Lexis next door offers an additional option.
