Glass Hive Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to take part in a group glass project on April 27 from 7-9 p.m. at The Glass Hive Studio, 30273 Canary Court, Abbotsford. Each volunteer will be given a small piece of glass to work with and a variety of colors to decorate with. There will be a general theme to follow but the overall design will be up to you. All pieces will be fired and joined together to make one large collage which will be donated to The Mission Arts Council for their annual fundraising auction. For more information, email ellen@theglasshive.ca or call 604-615-6902.
