Terminal City Glass Co-op
11 artists from Terminal City Glass Co-op are participating in this year’s Eastside Culture Crawl. Terminal City Glass Co-op was founded in 2012 as Canada’s first and only non-profit, co-operative glass arts facility. The Co-op is home to some of Canada’s top, award-winning glass artists, who are able to practice their medium in a fantastically, creative space.
After the Eastside Culture Crawl wraps up, Terminal City Glass Co-op will host two timely “Make Your Own Glass Ornament” workshops, on November 29th and on December 13th. Participants get one-on-one time with expert artists to create their very own Christmas tree ornament, picking their own colours and using a variety of tools to shape and blow the glass into a delightful decoration.
If you would like to do a Make Your Own Glass Ornament workshop, I have 2 passes to give away for the December 13th session (value $110). Here’s how you can enter to win:
- Leave a comment on this post (1 entry)
- Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
I will draw one winner at random from all entries at 12:00pm on Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Finished pieces are available for pick-up on or after Tuesday, December 2nd (if made on November 29th) or Tuesday, December 16 (if made on December 13th). For ages 16+. Follow Terminal City Glass Co-op on Twitter and Facebook for more information about their events and artists.
Update The winner is lindsay!
