  Join us for an artsy winter MAEOE Meet Up!
  
  We will have the studio to ourselves as Just Love Art helps us create amazing nature themed fused glass art. Starting with the same glass base, we will each be able to create our own works of art with the nature theme of our choice. 

  The class fee includes materials and shipping to get your piece back to you, no matter where in the state you come from. You are also welcome to bring food/drink into the studio to enjoy while you create. Below are just some examples, you are only limited by your creativity! For an additional fee paid on site you could turn your piece from a suncatcher/ornament style into a tealight or nightlight.
