Creation Station at Stained Glass Express--All week in honor of Maine Craft Weekend, enjoy 10% off the Creation Station. Come see what all the fuss is about!
Regular prices range from $18-85, and projects are designed to be completed in less than an hour (they'll go in the kiln and be ready to pick up in about one week!) All the materials and instructions are included in your "kit", but you'll assemble the kit from a huge variety of choices. Because you don't have to do any cutting, these projects are great to do with kids! No experience needed, but someone is always around if you need encouragement. We have a spacious classroom where you can work on your projects, or take them home and bring them back at your convenience to go in the kiln. Come any time during store hours (Mon-Fri 9-6, Sat 9-5); the Creation Station is always open. While you're here, check out our Gallery of work by local glass artists, and maybe sign up for a class!
Email glassacademy@stainedglassexpress.com with any questions!
