Recycled Wine Bottle Cheese Tray
with Joyce Sullivan
$30 includes supplies (on sale for $17)
**No Previous Experience Necessary**
This is an ultimate recycling project! Talented instructors lead this fun workshop as you learn how to transform empty wine bottles into decorative hors d'oeuvre or cheese trays.
Each participant needs to bring one regular (not sentimental value) wine bottle. It must clean and dry, inside and outside and have the label and glue removed.
We will demo and explain how to flatten wine bottles in the kiln. Since it takes 19 hours to squish a wine bottle, we'll exchange your bottle with a similar bottle that is already flat.
To remove the label, soak your bottle for thirty minutes in very hot, soapy water. If the label doesn't slip right off, you can use a razor blade scraper to remove it. If the adhesive doesn't come off easily, you can use Goo Gone to get it off.
After you've learned the technique, you can bring more wine bottles to Harmony for squishing. Kiln fees are as low as $12 for one bottle up to $60 for ten bottles.
