What we’re about
The Enchanted Forest is a creative sanctuary near Mount Rainier where art, nature, and mindfulness meet. We gather beneath ancient cedars for meditation, sculpture, glass-fusing, driftwood art, and other hands-on experiences that reconnect us with creativity and the natural world. Whether you come to make art, share stories, or simply breathe in the forest air, this is a space for slowing down, exploring imagination, and finding beauty in the wild.

Fused Glass for Beginners – An Enchanted Forest Workshop
The Enchanted Forest - Ashford WA, 30926 Mt Tahoma Canyon Rd E, Ashford, WA, US# Welcome to the Enchanted Forest Fused Glass Workshop Nestled beneath moss-draped maples and cedars near Mount Rainier. The Enchanted Forest is a creative sanctuary where beginners can learn the art of fused glass in a relaxed, soulful, and immersive setting. This group is for anyone who wants to:
Learn fused-glass basics in a fun, supportive environment
Create their own pendants, ornaments, or abstract pieces
Experience kiln firing and glass layering techniques
Connect with nature, creativity, and good people
Optional: stay overnight in the Artist Loft for a deeper retreat experience
Donation-Based Model:
Workshops are offered on a donation basis— give what you feel the experience was worth.
Donations are welcome and appreciated, but never required.
Potluck Community Vibes:
Every workshop is potluck-style.
Bring a dish, snack, or drink to share.
It keeps the evening warm, communal, and fun.
Overnight Stay Optional — Two Visits Required
Staying overnight in the Artist Loft is completely optional. However, fused glass requires an overnight kiln cycle, so two separate visits are needed:
Evening: create your piece
Next morning: return to see the kiln reveal and finish the pendant
If you prefer not to stay overnight, you can simply return the next morning at the scheduled time.
Artist Loft Details
The Artist Loft can sleep four people comfortably.
Photos, layout, and full details can be seen on the Airbnb listing on my Linktree page. As well as examples of fused glass pendants in the "Gift Shop".
