Some studios will have demonstrations going on throughout the two weekends.

Customer Testimonials:
"Our school was looking to have custom etched glass vases as table centerpieces for our annual auction. We were so blessed to find Fiddle Home Studio! I can not even begin to tell you how beautiful and artistic these turned out to be. Emily sand etched our logo, a tree with children dancing around it, on the vases, interweaving the name of the school into the branches of the tree. We placed some tea lights in the vases and used them as centerpieces on each table at the auction. The effect was stunning and the vases were a hot fundraising item. Thank you so much, Emily and Shane, for creating a gorgeous piece of art work we are all proud to display in our homes." - Steven (Shoreline, Washington)

"I am so thrilled with this gorgeous plate! I love the delicacy of the design, the shading colors from green to blue. The artistry and skill employed in creating it are fantastic. I salivate over Fiddle Home Studio's collection and am eager to purchase more wedding gifts! Their service is prompt, efficient and yet personal. And what could be better than supporting a solar and wind powered cottage industry. Go Fiddle Home Studio! Thanks for sharing your commitment to a happier, healthier and more beautiful planet!" - Sara (Portland, Oregon)
