| - When I get someone a gift, it's been a recent thing that I've enjoyed giving him or her a fun experience rather than a material gift. That's how I came about spending my Saturday morning at Pittsburgh Glass Center. It is an amazing place to spend your day if you want to do something unique and memorable.
My mom is the hardest person to shop for, but she deserves a great present for dealing with me for 22 years. This year I got her registered for a class in PGC's kiln shop to make suncatchers, thinking it would be something new and fun for us to do. We arrived for the 2-hour class and went upstairs, passing by the furnaces and other rooms that workshops and demonstrations are held in. Almost everything at this place is intriguing to me, but to each is own, of course!
Once we got seated in the kiln shop workspace, we had two hours to make as many suncatchers as we could. There were only three other people in the class besides my mom and I, which was nice because it wasn't too crowded. We cranked out 10 suncatchers together and will be picking them up at the end of the week. The cost of the class was pretty reasonable for what we got out of it, and I'd love taking another here. They offer date nights, 2-hour classes, classes that go on for weeks, and lots of fun stuff. It was an experience to visit PGC and was well worth the price. Now we wait with excitement to see how our pieces have turned out!
