A Small Town in New Jersey Is Hiding an Unforgettable Seaglass Experience

The scenic shores of the Garden State are filled with colorful pieces of glass that become beautiful treasures to those who seek them out. And there is one unique Airbnb Experience in New Jersey that allows sea glass enthusiasts to proudly display these seaside vacation memories for years to come. Journey with me to the beautiful oceanfront community of Cape May, New Jersey, and take part in a Fun Seaglass Art Workshop in Cape May, a memorable experience that will leave you with a one-of-a-kind personal creation from your time spent at the beach.

What to Expect During Your Experience in Cape May

I’ve always wanted to creatively display my vast collection of mermaid's tears, but was always a little wary of working with resin. However, it is quite easy once you know what you are doing, and this Fun Seaglass Art Workshop in Cape May is the perfect way to learn the basics. The private class is taught by an experienced local artist, Laurie, from Cape May Salty Kisses, who will take you through the crafting process step by step. When you leave with your masterpiece, you will also have gained a lot of knowledge about seaglass resin art. Perhaps you might even want to try making your own coastal artwork at home? 

The Fun Seaglass Art Workshop in Cape May takes place in Laurie’s private residence, a secret spot fondly called “ Clifford, the Big Red House.” Participants can either bring their own collection of seaglass or work with the materials that Laurie has available. Small shells, sand, and starfish can be displayed along with the colorful glass.

You will discover that this laidback workshop fosters creativity in a fun, engaging atmosphere. And even if you haven’t worked with resin before, there is no need to feel intimidated by the process. Laurie will show you all you need to do, from setting up the frame to picking out the materials and later pouring the resin.

Who This Airbnb Experience Is Perfect For

This unique Airbnb Experience in New Jersey is a great activity for families or small groups of friends. Anyone aged ten years or older is welcome to participate. The class is as much about having fun as it is about making art. Laurie provides seltzer and water for her groups, or feel free to BYOB. Please note that once your artwork is complete, it must dry overnight for the resin to set properly.

What to Know Before Booking

Are you ready to create a treasured seaside creation? If so, be sure to reserve your spot on the Fun Seaglass Art Workshop in Cape May through Airbnb Experience. Classes take place on select Saturday afternoons and run roughly two hours at a cost of $80 per guest. Laurie is also available to host private seaglass workshops for parties of six or more at your home.

If you are traveling to Cape May for this workshop, why not turn your visit into a whole weekend shore getaway? Of course, you will want to visit the gorgeous beach and probably hunt for more seaglass, but you may also want to check out these fun local attractions. And if you are looking for a fantastic place to eat and stay, you need to visit Elaine's in Cape May, a former dinner theater that was transformed into a restaurant and hotel.
