INSIDER
By Teri EvansBefore dusting off that box of go-to ornaments to trim the tree this month, consider starting
a new tradition and create your own yuletide art. Dale Chihuly–trained glass artist Conrad
Williams is hosting glassblowing workshops on how to design an ornament or bowl. The
Naples-based instructor takes participants through every step of the process, from choos-
ing colors to forming the molten glass
with shaping tools and your own
breath. The best part? No experience
is needed so anyone can be an art-
ist. Classes are one-on-one and open
to ages 6 and up. Workshops will
be held Thursdays and Saturdays in
December at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples,
with daily classes taking place from
December 13 to 22. Space is limited,
and cost to attend is $99 per ornament
session, $199 per bowl session.

and gravity to shape glass.
