Hilltop Artists will be having its annual holiday glass sale on Saturday, Dec. 12.

It’s the community’s opportunity to celebrate the season while supporting these deserving, budding artists. Admission to the sale is free and open to the public. Because this is such a popular event, guests can come early that day and get a numbered ticket then come back to shop when the sale opens.

Accompanying the sale, a VIP event will be held Dec. 11 for people who have donated $200 or more to Hilltop Artists this year. VIPs will be able to bring a guest to browse and shop at their leisure that evening, prior to the holiday sale opening the next day. Guests will have an opportunity to take a bead-making lesson, make their own holiday ornament and commission specific pieces in their favorite colors and watch them being made into a glass treasure.....
