Each ticket is $65 and available to those 18 and older. Guests receive two drinks, appetizers and the choice of three workshops, including printmaking, ceramics, glass fusing, life drawing, wheelthrowing and engraving. Workshops are 40 minutes in length and subject to availability. Attendees should register online.
