    I had a great time at the hearts pendants class. I attended with my parents and it was a super fun way of trying something new! We learned how to create the glass pendants and choose what color to add to them, then got to take them home. It was a very safe environment and the limited class size allowed for lots of interaction with the instructor. Would recommend!
