A beginner stained glass class. No experience necessary. Come and have some fun in Cedar Springs! About this event: Come join the fun at O’Flynn’s Art Gallery & Craft Shoppe in Cedar Springs for a Friday night stained glass class. In this class you will learn the basics of what it takes to make stained glass windows while working on one of several projects (hearts, dragonflies, seasonal items). The projects will be finished at the end of three hours and ready to take home and show off to your friends and family while they sparkle in your window. There is no experience necessary for the Beginner class, you will learn as you go. There will be prolonged standing and glasses or safety glasses (provided) will have to be worn at all times. All you have to do is bring yourself (16 years or older please) in some closed-toe shoes, no sandals, and the ability to have some fun. Materials for making the hearts will be provided, that includes: your choice of glass, glass cutter, grinder, foil, rubber gloves, flux, solder, soldering iron, your choice of patina, cleaner for your windows, and the last step...wax. So gather your friends, or meet some new ones, and sign up to learn something new. There will be a maximum of 6 people for the class.

There is a positive connection between art and mental health. It is used to treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD. It can be great as a simple stress reliever as well. We believe in the power of the arts to connect and to heal – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally! Join us in this paint therapy class as we use descriptive words to inspire creativity, release emotions, and engage in a meditative state and environment. Anyone can participate. No experience necessary. This is not a structured, instructional class. It is a personal journey and therapy for the mind, body, and soul! This class is about getting in touch with your emotions and releasing them in a healthy and creative way, no matter where you are on your journey. We’ll choose one Inspirational word at random; for example, Partnership, The Self, Strength, Growth, etc., and paint what that word inspires in us. It will be a great experience for young and old alike to connect and heal through this painting process! The Teen Paint Therapy is for kids aged 13 to 18 only.
