Saints Alive Trip to Orbix Hot Glass

April 17 @ 9:15 am - 4:00 pm

The Saints Alive will travel to Fort Payne to visit the Orbix Hot Glass. Orbix is a small glass studio nestled in the humble mountains of Alabama. This day is a change from our normal outings. Orbix has changed the day when they give demonstrations so we are going on Thursday rather than Wednesday.

Because the glassblowers cannot demonstrate for us until 1:00 PM, we will first go to lunch at Vintage 1889, a locally owned and operated restaurant located in the 134-year-old historically-registered Big Mill Company building in Fort Payne. Following lunch we will visit the glass blowing company gallery and possibly purchase something. Then we will tour the studio and watch as glass artists give a private glass blowing demonstration. The artists will answer questions about the process. The cost of the tour depends on how many people attend. There is a set cost for the group to come. The bus will leave from the church at 9:15 AM. We will be back in time to attend the Maundy Thursday worship service. We will also share in the gas money for the bus. Donna Behnken and Kris Wyszynski are the coordinators of the trip.

See the sign-up sheet in the narthex.
