Since beginning her stained glass career in 2023, she has become known for making the art form approachable, encouraging, and enjoyable for creators of every skill level.
Her workshops emphasize creativity, community, and helping each participant leave with a piece they are proud to display.

Create a one-of-a-kind sea glass mirror while exploring self-love, positive affirmations, and the beauty of personal growth.
<h2>✨ Event Highlights:</h2>
🪞 Create Your Own Sea Glass Mirror: Design a beautiful beveled mirror using genuine sea glass, colorful flat-back pearls, and optional seashell accents to create a meaningful keepsake.
💙 A Mindful Self-Love Experience: Begin the evening with a thoughtful discussion on the power of positive self-talk and the practice of speaking affirmations into a mirror. Choose a personal mantra, intention, or encouraging reminder to write on the back of your mirror, creating a daily source of inspiration.
🌊 The Meaning Behind Sea Glass: Discover the symbolism of sea glass, a reminder that life's challenges can shape us into something even more beautiful. Just as broken glass is transformed by time and the ocean, we, too, can grow through life's experiences.
🏛️ Museum Admission Included: Your ticket includes admission to Imagine Museum, allowing you to explore one of the world's premier collections of contemporary glass art before or after the workshop.
<h2>📅 Event Details:</h2>
📅 Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026

🎟️ Tickets: $35 per person
<h2>💙 The Experience:</h2>
More than a craft workshop, this is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and create something that speaks to your journey.
You'll begin with a brief conversation about the science behind positive self-talk and how intentional affirmations can influence confidence and well-being. Before decorating your mirror, you'll choose a word, mantra, or personal affirmation to write on the back, creating a hidden reminder that reflects your intentions every time you see yourself.
Using a beveled mirror as your canvas, you'll design a unique sea glass frame with your choice of sea glass, colorful pearls, and optional seashell embellishments. You may also choose to add a hanging attachment or keep your mirror as a tabletop piece.
Whether you're creating for yourself or as a meaningful gift, you'll leave with a handmade piece that celebrates resilience, growth, and self-compassion.
✨ Seats are limited to just 24 participants, and workshops at Imagine Museum often sell out. Reserve your spot today and create a beautiful reminder that every journey, like sea glass, can become something extraordinary.
