Highlight of our trip!

Our family of 4 had the most fun making glass beads. We truly weren’t sure what to expect. Luckily, we were in very good hands. Our instructor made the process look so easy and patiently guided us through his craft. He showed us different techniques and designs. We left the studio with a handful of gorgeous glittering beads ams a wonderful memory. Highly recommend!
