That question is often asked by those who visit our shop. Yes, we do!

Sassafras Moon World Gifts offers two kinds of classes. Kay Berkley, a glass artist with over 30 years of experience, teaches stained and fused glass. Sally Erickson, who creates many of the one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces for sale in the shop, will teach you how to make your own unique jewelry.

Classes are usually held in late spring and throughout the summer. We prefer to keep the size between 7-10 students so that we may give more personalized attention. They fill up fast!

Pre-registration is greatly appreciated. Please contact us to sign up.
