Class Dates - Maximum 5-6 students per workshop:

October 6-19, 2025 (2 spots available)

During the 2-weeks, 10 days will be spent in the studio learning practical and theoretical skills (and tricks!) to translate photographs, paintings, watercolors or drawings, in fused glass. 

      

Not only will you study the foundations of Miriam’s Art, but you will also explore the surroundings, visit wineries, unique dining experiences, and explore the beauty and culture of a fantastic Italian territory, the source of Miriam's inspiration. 

      

Class will run for 5 days the 1st week, with a 4-day break in between, and then another 5 days the second week.  The 3-day break in between the 2 sessions gives everyone an opportunity to explore a particular region in the area on your own or with the groupl of students (not included in the cost of the workshop).  We can discuss options that are within the area.

    

Miriam will also have the pleasure you to introduce the “talented chefs” from her village.  During 2 separate classes, students work alongside the cooks as they share with us their family recipes, their secrets which have been passed down for generations, while enjoying the wines from the region.  Once the food in prepared and cooked, we all sit down for dinner to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
