Make it Wild: Bison Glass Mosaics

July 25, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 1:30 pm

*This class is SOLD OUT* Join artist Hayley Ruland for a hands-on mosaic glass workshop—no paintbrushes required! In this creative session, participants will create their own wildlife-inspired landscape featuring a bison using stained glass pieces and a custom 3D wooden palette. You’ll choose from a range of glass colors, then nip and glue each piece into place to create a textured, one-of-a-kind mixed-media artwork. No prior glass or mosaic experience needed, just come ready to create and leave with something uniquely yours, inspired by the beauty of Wyoming.

This class is presented alongside the exhibition Bison-tennial: From Colonization to Rematriation. A museum educator will lead a close looking tour for the first 30 minutes of the class to learn more about and reflect on the bison. The next 3 hours will conclude with art making in the classroom.

This class will take place from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on July 25, in the Museum Classroom.

Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.

  • $60 per Live In-Person Class (SOLD OUT)
  • Limited to the first 20 participants
