Wedding season, birthdays, anniversaries, date ideas, etc... we keep thinking about this, what if the gift was the experience?

has a couples glassblowing class where you literally blow your own wine glasses together, side by side, then take them home. Custom colors. One ticket = two people. A wine saver included.

The kind of gift they'll talk about forever. 🔥

Missed foraging season? No worries — you can make your own. 🍄

These handblown glass mushrooms are straight-up magical in a garden, and the best part? You can blow one yourself in one of Jeremie's glassblowing classes. Come in, heat things up, and walk away with something your garden (and your garden gnomes) will thank you for.

What does it take to put glass on a body?

For Jeremie Draper, it meant learning the same techniques used in cathedral windows — then applying them to a human silhouette. Hand-cut tiles soldered into flexible panels. Painted glass sheets worn as a corset. A saffron silk dress weighted with glass at the shoulder and hip, catching light differently with every step.

This is the Movement collection. Handmade. Worn on a runway. Long before fashion caught up.

We're sharing the full archive this week — follow along.
