About the Class Name: Fairy Slipper Island
This class is named after Fairy Slipper Island, a tiny, enchanting island on Murtle Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park. The island is named for the delicate Calypso orchids—also known as Fairy Slippers—that bloom there, adding to its magical feel. It’s the perfect inspiration for a class focused on delicate, nature-inspired glass art!
