✨ Western Red Brewing Crushed Glass Art Party ✨

Choose a design and size from a collection of laser cut wood frames when purchasing a ticket, then pick from a wide range of hand dyed crushed glass colors to craft a one of a kind piece. Finish your artwork with a clear, fume free sealant that gives a lasting shine. Each participant receives a frame in the chosen size, crushed glass in many colors, clear sealant, all necessary tools and materials, a suction cup for window hanging, and step by step guidance from the facilitators. Seating and materials are prepared according to the number of tickets purchased, so a ticket is needed for every person in the group. Every ticket covers one project. Pricing begins at $45 for a 6 inch mini project, with an upgrade option to a 12 inch standard project for $60. The upgrade changes only the size of a single project and does not add an additional frame. Most guests ages 8 and up can complete the project comfortably. Younger children are welcome at the discretion of their adults, and because real crushed glass is used there is a small chance of a minor poke or cut. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase from Western Red Brewing, and outside food is welcome. The venue is kid friendly, and guests under 18 may attend when accompanied by an adult.

✨ Sisters' Cider House Crushed Glass Art Party ✨

Settle in at Sisters' Cider House for a relaxed, hands on crushed glass art party led by Deanna and Paul. Enjoy a cider, unwind with friends, and design a sparkling piece that reflects your style. When purchasing a ticket, participants choose a design and a frame size from a collection of laser cut wood options, then arrange colors from a wide palette of hand dyed crushed glass. Each artwork is finished with a clear, fume free seal for lasting shimmer. Every ticket covers one project and includes the frame, your selected glass colors, the clear sealer, all necessary tools and materials, a window suction cup for displaying the finished piece, and step by step guidance from the facilitators. Pricing starts at $45 for a 6 inch mini project, with an option to upgrade to a 12 inch standard project for $60. Upgrading changes only the size of a single project and does not add another frame. To ensure seating and supplies, please purchase one ticket per person in your group. Availability may be limited. Most makers ages 8 and up can complete the project independently. Younger children may participate at an adult’s discretion, keeping in mind that real crushed glass is used and there is a small risk of a minor poke or cut. Ciders are available for purchase, and outside food is welcome, including takeout from nearby spots. The venue is kid friendly, and guests under 18 may attend with an accompanying adult. Photos are taken during the party for event albums, and anyone who prefers not to be photographed can let the team know at the start. Private group parties with Deanna and Paul are also available.
