In this two-hour session, you’ll use real shells, driftwood, and sea glass to design an 8×10 framed piece that’s completely your own. No pressure, no art degree required—just a relaxed space to get inspired. Whether you’re looking for a quiet solo activity or a fun way to bond with family, this workshop brings the beach to your fingertips in a whole new way.
Sea Glass Window Workshop Overview
Mark your calendar for a creative Saturday on June 7, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This two-hour Sea Glass Window Workshop takes place at the welcoming Coastal Craft Workshop, located at 126 Saco Ave, Unit 101, in the heart of Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
The session is designed for anyone aged 6 and up, making it a great activity for families, crafty couples, or even a solo creative escape. Whether you’re a beginner or have a few DIY projects under your belt, this workshop offers a relaxed and friendly space to get hands-on with coastal-inspired art.
You’ll be working with beachy materials like driftwood, starfish, sea glass, and shells to create your own 8” x 10” framed window art. Bring your own found treasures to add a personal touch, or simply use the wide variety of pieces provided. It’s a peaceful, tactile experience that lets your creativity shine—with no pressure and plenty of charm.
What You’ll Create in the Sea Glass Window Workshop?
During the Sea Glass Window Workshop, you’ll design and assemble a unique 8”x10” wood-framed sea glass window using a variety of coastal materials. These include sea glass, shells, starfish, driftwood, coral, sand dollars, stones, and more. Whether you prefer to follow one of the studio’s provided templates or come up with your own design, the final result will be a personalized piece of ocean-inspired art that reflects your creativity and coastal memories.
You’re welcome to bring your own beach treasures—like shells or pebbles you’ve collected—to incorporate into your piece and make it even more meaningful. The workshop provides all the tools and supplies you’ll need, and due to the curing time of the adhesive, you can choose to pick up your finished piece the next day or take it home with a kit and instructions to complete on your own.
Sea Glass Window Workshop Experience
The Sea Glass Window Workshop is designed to be relaxing, welcoming, and creatively fulfilling—perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. When you arrive, you’ll have the option to follow one of the studio’s beautifully designed templates or start with a blank canvas and create your own original artwork. Whether you’re inspired by your love for the ocean or simply want a fun, hands-on activity, the environment is supportive and stress-free.
Throughout the 2-hour session, friendly instructors will be available to guide you if you’d like help placing materials, arranging your design, or learning techniques. There’s no pressure—just a casual, coastal-inspired space to explore your creativity. Because the adhesive used in your sea glass art needs time to cure, you can either leave your piece at the studio and pick it up the next day or take it home in a ready-to-go kit complete with instructions to finish on your own time. It’s a thoughtful, flexible experience that’s as enjoyable as it is memorable.
