What is a "Workshop?"

Workshops consist of hands-on arts, crafts and maker activities taught live and online by our passionate Museum educators and Instructors from around the world! Workshops allow a maximum of six participants at a time, so Learners and Instructors can engage, create, build, and connect in a truly meaningful way. The virtual workshop rooms are secure; only enrolled Learners will be able to join.

What kinds of Workshops are offered?

Workshops are hands-on, and involve making or doing something fun and constructive. Choose from a broad range of Workshops, with Instructors from the Museum and across the globe in designing a robot, jewelry making, creating a journal, mask making, instrument making, and folklore crafts. New workshops are added regularly, so keep an eye out for the latest!

Will my kids enjoy the Workshops?

Based on our experience, the answer is a resounding "YES!" Kids love our workshops because they get to make or do something new and exciting while connecting with others through a shared experience. Parents love the workshops because they offer constructive, educational and expansive experiences right from the comfort and safety of home. Whether you coordinate with distant family or friends for a shared, virtual experience, or you make new friends while taking your workshop, parents and kids both report an increased sense of connection to others after participating in a workshop.

Can I have more than 2 people per screen in a Workshop?

Betty Brinn Children's Museum and GLOMADO want the Workshop experience to be a positive one for every person involved. Part of this experience is the small class size. Each screen should have no more than 2 Learners for the Instructor to be interacting with.

How will I get the supplies needed for the craft?

Workshops that include a GLOkit will list that information in the Workshop details. The GLOkit will include most of the required supplies. The Learner may be asked to collect some everyday household items prior to a Workshop as well. Required materials will be listed on the Workshop details page, and are available to view prior to your scheduled Workshop. Not all Workshops include a GLOkit.

How long will the GLOkit take to arrive in the mail?

A GLOkit will usually arrive within 2-3 days from the purchase of a Workshop. You will have the option of expedited shipping for an additional cost.

What if my Instructor does not show up to teach the Workshop?

All Instructors prioritize their scheduled Workshops, but in the rare event that an Instructor is unable to attend you will automatically receive a gift card for the cost of the Workshop plus an additional 20%. You can use the promo code and the gift card to schedule any future Workshops.

Is this a safe platform?

Each Instructor has gone through a significant vetting process before working under the GLOMADO brand name.

Will my information be shared with others?

All personal information entered remains fully secure and will not be shared with outside companies.

Why are Workshops recorded?

GLOMADO records all Workshops for internal use only. Video recordings will never be shared with any 3rd party. They are for the purposes of safety and quality control.

What if I am unable to complete the craft in the Workshop’s allotted time?

You will have the opportunity to finish your craft after the Workshop.  If you need further instruction, you will be able to watch an instructor-only recorded video with instructions.  

Do GLOMADO gift cards ever expire?

Based on our experience, the answer is a resounding "YES!" Kids love our workshops because they get to make or do something new and exciting while connecting with others through a shared experience. Parents love the workshops because they offer constructive, educational and expansive experiences right from the comfort and safety of home. Whether you coordinate with distant family or friends for a shared, virtual experience, or you make new friends while taking your workshop, parents and kids both report an increased sense of connection to others after participating in a workshop.

What happens if I am unable to attend a Workshop I have registered for?

Due to the nature of our Workshops, we are unable to issue refunds as the Instructor is already booked for that day/time slot which prevents other Learners from being able to join at that time. Please note that GLOMADO Instructors are paid for all booked Workshops.

Am I able to leave a rating or review of my Workshop?

After every Workshop, each Learner has the opportunity to rate the Instructor and give helpful feedback.
