Transform Empty Wine Bottles into Unique Glasses. Learn the art of cutting, sanding, and painting. Discover the magic of upcycling and take home your own painted glass along with new skills to continue experimenting!

With a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship, we will cut the bottles in half using a glass cutter and thermal shock method (ice water and boiling water). We will then sand the sharp edges smooth and decorate them with glass paint. These unique glasses can serve as drinking glasses, charming tealight holders, and much more. You will also learn various painting techniques to personalize your creations. Explore the joy of rescuing your glassware from the recycling bin and turning them into beautiful, functional art pieces!

IMPORTANT INFO: Don’t forget to bring your own empty bottles. For this workshop, please bring two empty wine bottles made of dark glass (green or brown). Please remove any label. Champagne bottles are not suitable for this workshop.

Luna Schröer says, “The goal is not only to promote the reuse of waste materials but also to show people that with minimal creative experience and a small investment in basic supplies like glass paint, you can create beautiful items for your home. Moreover, there’s nothing more satisfying than using your own unique creations, such as beautiful drinking glasses and reusable oil bottles, every day! My work emphasizes the beauty of imperfection in handmade products. I strongly believe in the positive impact of a creative outlet. In a world where the emphasis often lies on academic achievements and business success, many people unfortunately lose sight of their creative side. Through La Salamandre studio, I aim to help people relax more and show them how enjoyable it is to work with your hands.”
