Laurel
is a Raleigh-based mixed media artist whose paper arts talents include
creating handbound books and jewelry. Her soldered glass jewelry classes
combine paper arts and adornment. These classes are a staff favorite!
Due
to the intense heat of the soldering irons, these classes are limited
to participants 16 years old and older.

an image of collage in glass. Some collage materials are available,
please feel free to bring your own. Tools are provided.
Supplies
