Location: Elsie Kaye Gift Shop & Artisan Studio, 3 Union St., Suite 2, Westborough
Have a broken clasp on your favorite necklace? Want to turn that orphan earring into a pendant? Bring your broken necklaces or simple unfinished jewelry projects and get support and guidance from an instructor. We’ll supply the tools and basic supplies (silver or gold-plated jump rings, clasps, gemstones, and other small beads, etc.) as well as assistance and encouragement. While we can provide basic assistance, if you require help on a more complicated repair or design, contact us to set up a private lesson.

You'll learn how to use heat, gravity, and tools to shape molten glass and create tiny works of art. No experience is necessary and all materials are included.
