MAKE-YOUR-OWN EXPERIENCES

Please call 856.825.6800, ext. 152, to schedule a Make-Your-Own appointment.
For questions email: myop@wheatonarts.org

With the expert guidance of one of our artists & instructors, shape hot molten glass, cut & arrange cold glass, or sculpt wet clay into beautiful objects! All programs are hands-on, one-on-one experiences. Ages limits range from 5 years (glass fusing & clay) to 14 years (glass cutting), and 16 or older (glassblowing). Minors require a parent/guardian’s signature. Participants receive a complimentary pass for the day. Anyone wishing to accompany you to watch your experience must purchase a general admission ticket. Please note that glass & ceramic objects require time to cool in a kiln slowly to room temperature. We will contact you when your piece is ready for pick up or shipment, typically one to two weeks later.
