Please let us know which design you would like to make so we can schedule the appropriate amount of time for your session with us. (You should expect to be in the studio for about one hour as you work on your piece and watch demonstrations before your turn)

Solid

#2) 
$85. The solid heart with frills is similar, with the addition of 2 hot molten bits of glass that will be applied to the heart so it can be shaped by you with traditional glass sculpting tools. 

Blown
#3) $95.The blown glass is a double gather of glass with the option
of 2-3 colors. After it is transferred to the punte and the final shape is accomplished by pulling and cutting the point of the heart a glass, a molten ornament hook will be attached to the top so it can be hung for optimal enjoyment. 

#4) $125.The blown glass heart with frills is the same to #3 with the addition of 2 hot molten bits attached to the sides of the heart so they can be shaped by you by hand to form a decorative trim.
