Glass Painting with Pam Schwartz

Glass Painting Workshop with Pam Schwartz

Glass painting is a beautiful, luminous way to express creativity! Come join us to explore the world of glass painting with talented instructor Pam Schwartz.

Our February 2023 monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 21st from 6:30-9pm.

Location:
BVAA Open Sky Uxbridge Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA 01569

The space is fully handicapped / disability accessible with no stairs. It is immediately next to a large free parking lot.

This meeting and workshop is free and open to the public. No experience is necessary. The fun of our workshops is that we all try new things we’ve never done before.

Our meetings cover BVAA organization business from 6:30-7:00pm and then go into the workshop part of the evening. Feel free to come for whichever half interests you the most. In general, our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month unless otherwise announced.

All are welcome – this workshop is open to members and non-members. Feel free to bring along a friend! We’d love to see you there to try some new things and explore your creativity!

Here are a few images of glass paintings by Pam to give you a sense of this lovely art form.

Ask with any questions!

Our meetings are supported in part by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
