Our popular Summer Glass Camps are back! With multiple options based on age, studio preference, time commitment, and price point – we have something for just about everyone. Students will learn the tools, equipment, and basic techniques of glass blowing, torch working, and/or kiln fusing as they work side-by-side with our talented artist instructors and also create collaboratively with their peers. Each student will create a number of projects, regardless of which Summer Glass Camp option they choose.
See the options below and find the perfect fit for your budding artist. Sign them up with a friend or they can make one here – either way they’ll be talking about Summer Glass Camp all year long!

Please join us the first Saturday of each month at 9 AM (barring special events or bad weather which will be announced on our Facebook page), for "Beginning Birding Walks," led by experienced birders from the Audubon Society of Kalamazoo. This event is free and open to the public. Meet at the second parking lot at Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, just off SR 43. All skill levels are welcome.
We will enjoy nature while typically identifying 20-40 species of birds, plus butterflies, frogs, etc. Over 200 bird species have been sighted at Wolf Lake, which offers a variety of habitats and easy walking trails. Annual highlights include colorful songbirds like orioles, warblers, tanagers, hawks and eagles, kingfishers, Great Blue and Green Herons, and over 20 species of waterfowl. Eastern Bluebirds can be found year-round! Children accompanying adults are welcome. The focus is on birding fundamentals, and extra binoculars are always available. The walk typically takes about 2 hours (but feel free to arrive late or leave early).
