Stained Glass and 3D Sculptures
Great introduction to stained glass and 3D modeling. Accommodating if you came with ideas but also fine for those of us who didn’t. -
Glass Fusion
I was going to be an hour late to the class so I called to see if it was worth going. An employee, Hanna, was so helpful. She told me it would be okay bc they would make sure I caught up with what I missed in the first hour and she did. She was great about it. The instructor Daniel was kind in accommodating me too. They were easy going and made it enjoyable. -
Hearts on Fire
This was a great experience working with glass. I have never done anything like this before and I found it very easy to pick up. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who want to learn or try something new. -
Introduction to Kiln Casting
I learned so much in this kiln casting class! The atmosphere was great and Dorie was a wonderful teacher. I would recommend going into the class with ideas, but also an open mind. The class is much more enjoyable and rewarding if you go into it wanting to experiment and learn techniques rather than trying to create polished gallery-ready pieces.
