Glass: Surface Decoration Using Piping Paste

If you can decorate a cupcake, you can do this and have a load of fun!

During this class you'll be preparing the piping tool and constructing a support bridge to be used during the piping process.

A step by step introduction will be performed first on paper before you turn your attention to the application on glass.

The instructor says she can hardly wait to show you how amazing the piping paste is and how much fun it is to use!
