Whatcha Want for Christmas?
Harmony is well-stocked with all the most popular Christmas presents.

THE POPULAR POINSETTIA
Poinsettias were first introduced into this country in 1828 by the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Dr. Joel Poinsett. Also an amateur botanist, he discovered a shrub with brilliantly colored red leaves growing by the side of the road in Taxco, Mexico in December 1828. He sent cuttings home to his plantation in Greenville, South Carolina.
Did you know that the poinsettia's main attraction is not its flowers, but its leaves? The flowers of the plant are the yellow clustered buds in the center (termed "cyathia"). The colored leafy parts are actually bracts or modified leaves, that
turn color in response to the plant forming flowers.
Poinsettias are now grown in all 50 states and represent over 85 percent of
potted plant sales during the holidays. Over $220 million worth of poinsettias
are sold during holiday season!

Fused Stringer Bowl
with Joyce Sullivan
Saturday, December 13; From 1 to 4pm
$85 includes all supplies and two firings
**NO EXPERIENCE OR SKILLS REQUIRED**
Click here to register online
We've been teaching the Stringer Bowl technique for several years. When people come into the store, they can't help but look at all the fabulous art work. When they come to the stringer bowl, all they want to do is touch it! The stringer bowl looks like fabric that was frozen into a bowl shape.
Using layers of glass stringer in your choice of colors, you will create a distinctive glass bowl that is sure to be an artistic conversation piece. If you don't tell, no one will know how you did it! Once you know the technique, you can recreate this bowl in many different colors and patterns.
Since this project can be completed with NO EXPERIENCE OR SKILLS REQUIRED, it's a perfect time to bring your family and friends to introduce them to glass!

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.
