I did a glass fusion class here with my wife, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it…read more We got a groupon for it, and went not being sure of what to expect. We've never worked with glass before, but the staff explained the decorative options well and had plenty of materials and tools available. The staff was always helpful and very friendly, and did a great job supervising the class and helping out when needed. We paid the extra $10 each to 'slump' our flat glass discs into bowl shape after they are melted. I would have liked a slightly curved plate option but that wasn't available. This requires a second run through the kiln, so the price is understandable. Sadly, it may take up to 4 weeks for the plates to finish the fusing process, although we saw some finished examples that looked gorgeous. I had one minor complaint, and that's only because I'm being nit-picky: the staff was hard to find sometimes during the class. There were plenty of staff members there, I just kept forgetting who they were since they didn't have nametags or aprons or anything to identify them.

I enjoyed the small class as it felt more personable and by the end all of us were chit chatting and having a great time. Our instructor Kim was very helpful and fun. The event was 3 hours which I think was perfect. I liked that we painted and then took small breaks to let the paint dry. It wasn't just paint, paint, paint. The shop is super cute and very clean. I can't wait to go back for another Sip n' Paint event or a glass fusion class! Kim said she wanted to try doing a jewelry making class which I would definitely attend! If your looking for a relaxing and fun night out with your girlfriends, significant other or anyone I highly recommend checking one of these events out!

Then they wanted to close before we were finished and rushed us and made us skip the step to add the adhesive for crisp lines. Mine had layered stencils and the paint was not dry enough for the second layer. Then a staff person took over my project to get us out the door. It's smeared and she got some stain that was also not dry, on the painted portion. This was a gift from my daughter, and our projects were both on the higher price end. She said she wanted to cry because it was supposed to be a special time and both of our projects were smeared and we were rushed out of there.

I was so glad because he was so great during my first experience, which was amazing. Josh's patience and careful, supportive instruction made for another incredible experience for me, and a great first-time experience for my two guests. When you are learning something new, you need someone like Josh to make you comfortable, provide specifics during each step of the process, and support you as you learn. That is what you can expect from Art of Fire. I made a beautiful bowl, as did my DiL. My granddaughter made a Christmas ornament using her favorite colors of pink, purple and yellow. I am definitely signing up for the six-week class in the fall. If you've never blown glass, this is the place to come and learn. It is NOT just a studio for skilled artisans. We can't wait to pick up our pieces tomorrow!

Just Brenda Art Studio is the kind of place that makes living in York exciting, trendy, edifying,…read moreand just plain fun! Brenda Wintermyer, the owner and artist, is a warm, well-read, well-traveled woman who is dedicated not only to her art but to updating and revitalizing the downtown area of York City. From the minute you walk through her door and climb the stairs to her studio you know you are in the presence of something wonderful and possibly life-altering. She greets you with the enthusiasm of a long-lost friend. She will stop whatever she is doing to talk with you...and be prepared to spend some time because there is so much to talk about! As you wander through her studio, which is on the small side but jam-packed with wonderful things to look at, Brenda will happily explain to you the history behind each piece, what inspired it, why she created it, and if it is part of a series. Brenda also holds art classes for the beginner as well as the more experienced artist. Her teaching style is to encourage the student and instruct without ever making the student feel unaccomplished (or in my case, hopeless!) Brenda's studio is open every First Friday event in downtown York, and many old friends as well as some new ones, can be found drinking tea or wine, chatting, and just enjoying the warmth and bonhomie that Brenda naturally engenders. Stop in sometime and say hi!

At first I thought it was a little pricey, but they make art so easy, have all the supplies, and offer so much support, so I think it was worth it. The sticker stencils were fun to work with. They helped a lot with the projects, but probably means there is a little less room for customization that isn't super clear when you're signing up for the class. We went on a Thursday evening and it was just the two of us. The owner and one other employee were there. We got so much personalized attention, the projects were cute, we learned a bunch, and they gave us options for each part of us doing it or them supporting us with it. There were tons of cute examples in the shop for inspiration and for purchase. The playlist was fun and the ambiance was cute. Perfect place for a party. I hope to be back.
