Closed Glass Terrarium Workshop
About
Build a sealed miniature garden in a glass vessel using plants, substrate and tiny springtails, with Adelaide Nitroy of Fancy Plants walking beginners through each step. The one-hour, all-ages class runs 1–2pm Saturday in the Douglas Research Conservatory at the Center for Urban Horticulture, 3501 NE 41st St (Metro routes 65 and 75). It costs $35 including all materials, with financial aid available. That morning the center also hosts a pressed flower keepsake workshop.

New to glass?
Glass classes split into fused glass (cutting and layering sheet glass that is melted in a kiln), stained glass (cut pieces joined with copper foil and solder) and hot glass (blowing or flameworking at a furnace or torch).
- Closed-toe shoes and natural-fibre clothing for hot-glass sessions; studios provide eye protection.
- Fused and stained glass suit a first visit. Glassblowing tasters are short and guided closely.
- Hot-glass classes are small and sell out first, especially before holidays.
Taking it home: Rarely on the day. Fused pieces go back in the kiln and blown glass cools overnight, so expect to collect it later or have it shipped.
