| Special Class Opportunities |
Occasionally, we will offer complimentary classes to local residents. These classes are posted on this page as they become available. We encourage you to check this page often.
Details:
- Each person may only enroll in one of these classes within a calendar year.
- You must be "local." Read below in the Am I Local? section to see if you qualify.
- Tuition is FREE, but each student will be required to pay a $25 registration fee and any additional materials costs. If there is space available and you choose to stay on campus, regular housing and meals rates apply.
- These are available on a first-come first-serve basis and may not be used on a class for which you are already registered.
- If you choose to register, you must do this by phone or in person - no online registrations, please. Call our Registration Staff (828-837-2775 or 800-365-5724) and be sure to mention that you are inquiring about the special complimentary class and the $25 registration fee to the person answering your call.

Whether you're a rank beginner or need to improve your current skills, this class will guide you through proper tool selection, sharpening, safety, and technique, and will also help you to realize the possibilities of turning.

Holiday Lampwork Magic!
with instructors Marjorie Langston & Terry Hale

If you have previous beadmaking experience, treat yourself to something new - learn to make holiday-themed glass beads, ornaments, and decorations. We'll use both soft and borosilicate glass to create solid and blown pieces. Your designs are sure to become the family favorites on the tree and the most popular gifts under it! For advanced-beginning to intermediate students; no absolute beginners, please. Students should have some glass-beadmaking experience, preferably recent.
