A fiery red phoenix feather? A scorched feather reminding you of Icarus’ audacity? A shimmering angel’s feather? Or a magnificently colourful plume reminding you of a bird-of-paradise?

A bit of magic for yourself, a gift or perhaps a work of remembrance? What will you make?

From start to finish — you'll go home with your own unique creation.

No prior experience required. We’ll take you through the process of pattern selection, glass choice, safely cutting and grinding your pieces, foiling, soldering and applying patina to finish your work. And when we're done, we'll celebrate your handiwork with you.

If you already know the basics, you can choose to create a more complex feather — or we'll challenge you to try out some more advanced embellishments.

The studio vibe is a unique experience — you cannot help but be inspired by the hundreds of creative works on display. The history of the century-old stone-and-mortar grist mill we call home reminds us of the pioneers who came before us and sets the tone and gives us grace to create.

The studio opens at least 30 minutes before starting time. Please arrive a little early to settle in, help yourself to some refreshments and choose your pattern before the workshop starts.

Late arrivals disrupt the rest of the class, and it may not be possible for the instructor to help you catch up.
