CLASSES
Most of our classes are walk-in workshops, suitable for all ages! This means you do not need an appointment (although we do appreciate the heads up!). Classes that require a reservation are specified as such. It takes about 1.5 to 3 hours depending upon the size of piece you make. We also offer custom sizes to suit your design needs as long as we have advance notice. This is a GREAT IDEA for parties and fundraisers! One project per person except when working on a very large project or when parents are helping small children. If you have 4 or more people in your group, or if it is a rainy day in summer please call to schedule in advance. Otherwise, for walk-ins, stop by any day we are open between 10am-3pm.
If you would like to take a class here at SwellColors, we are offering outdoor “curbside” classes on our patio, and classes indoors during winter. All mosaic projects now include a take-home grouting kit. If you would prefer us to grout your project, the cost is $15 per project.
**In the OFF-SEASON (September-May), call 609-494-7600 to check our hours, as they are subject to change. In the summer we are open daily, 10am-5pm.**
Fusing is the process of taking different colors of compatible glass and melting them together at high temperatures overnight in a kiln. Each fusing project is unique and always a special surprise the next morning when we take it out of our kiln. All class projects are fired on premises and can be picked up a few days after your class or we can ship your projects to you for a nominal fee. Come try fusing glass today!
Stained glass is the process of creating a puzzle-like design in glass. We use what is called the Tiffany method. Each piece is cut by hand, grinded around the outside edge, wrapped in copper foil, soldering together with a soldering iron, and finally cleaned and finished. Stained glass is one of our most advanced classes available, and you must be at least 15 to participate in these classes.
