We weren't…read moresure what to expect, as neither of us knew much about this glass art outside of having a couple pieces of pretty glass jewelry. Both owners, Marcie and Carrie, taught our class giving personal attention to each student. We learned the art of basic glass fusing through instruction, example and making our own pieces. All materials and firing were included in the workshop cost. We were given several examples of what we could make in our introductory class. Wall hangings, jewelry, wind chimes were some of our choices. Large selections of different glass in multitudes of shapes and colors were provided as well as the tools we needed. This class was so much fun and rewarding! I felt encouraged to express myself and with no known artistic ability, I created a fused glass wind chime. I highly recommend this work shop. Something different than dinner and a movie. I'll be going back to make a glass bowl that looks like coral, plant markers for my garden as well as take classes in silk scarf painting.

Our group of 6 was met by spunky Paulette who gave us a complete and thorough explanation on how The Bent Brush operates.

There are various sizes, shapes and specimens to choose from with a variety of paints, brushes and tools to use as your creative mind chooses. I will be specific and say, take your time! There is no rushing here and you are encouraged to be as creative as possible. The staff is so friendly and helpful; so don't be afraid to ask for assistance! Plus, they have so many art tools that can enhance your experience you'll never know what can aide you in your next "Van-Gough" piece Our group had a great time, singing to the awesome 80's music playing in the background and painting in this super cheerful atmosphere. Yes, we will be back!

This last time my humans made a spider, an alien and a narwal, and a dog treat jar!! I helped with that one!!! The staff is very helpful and even gave some tips on how to write my name on the jar. They checked on us often and got us everything we needed. One of my humans is not good in art but loves this experience and actually has made some cool things. There was also some kind of event there and everyone in the birthday party had so much fun. A great way to spend a few to several hours making cool things and gifts!! Highly recommend this one!! 5 stars and can't wait until the next one!!! Bodhi Approved! #BodhiFin
