Great experience on Saturday with the one day Neon experience. Excellent instruction and completely hands on. Brought home our first neon creations. Good mix of theory, history and practical.
I've taken a few classes here as a complete beginner to glassworking and it's been a fantastic experience! All the instructors and staff are really nice and helpful. They make the classes easy enough that anyone can understand and improve and come out with something they're proud of.
This is like the coolest place ever. I am a big fan of neon and I've learned this place is unique in the US for how well equipped and friendly to artists it is.
We had the most amazing hands-on learning experience. Our instructor was friendly and thorough. We made a couple of items that I use at home. We had a fun time and now good memories.
My husband and I bought the Beer Glass Making class as a birthday gift for his parents. The class consisted of 6 ppl. Alex and Daniel were our instructors. They were very patient considering that we made lots of mistakes. Trust me when I say, glass blowing looks easier than it is! My mother in law was very hesitant to participate, but Daniel was super helpful and got her to make her own pieces. Even though the class was for a beer glass, all of us decided to keep it simple and just make a glass. At the end, Alex and Daniel made a piece which we ended buying because it was just gorgeous. We all had fun and I'd recommend this to anyone even if you've never done it before.
