Me and my girlfriend went here for the valentines day class and it was fun. We had the option to make pendants, plates, or any kind of wacky flat design you wanted. The instructor, Richard, was very knowledgable about his craft and was very helpful in answering our questions. He explained the basics and then guided us as we came up with our design. One thing to note is that your completed fused piece won't be available for at least a week as it takes some time to fuse glass together. You have to call them a week later and inform them you want to come pick it up. The next time I go back I want to try the glass blowing class. That seems more intensive than the fusing class.Written on Feb 13 2012

The actual event was fun, I enjoyed learning how to use the flame to make glass items (beads). The instructor was good, but I felt the class was too short for the amount of money paid. There was not as much time to try out what was demonstrated as I would have liked to have had. If it was less expensive, I might do it again.Written on Sep 12 2011

Due to the Goldstar offer the class was full. There was one instructor and two assistants so everyone did get personal attention. It was a good introduction to flame working and the science of working with glass.Written on Jun 28 2011
