The customer gains 1 party point on every dollar spent on eligible items when they purchase online or in store. Rewards points are redeemable towards art glass supplies only. Items such as grinders, soldering irons, solder, workshops, select other items and our art glass subscription are not eligible for points redemption. Points will not be earned on sale products, solder, irons, grinders, workshop and/or other select products.
