She did more than teach me about that medium, she helped me realize I could achieve my goal. What I produced was a geode resin triptych that I have been told is just beautiful. Yes, I did it, but owe so much to Elizabeth's faith in me and her guidance. She is the ultimate teacher !

I purchased a 5-week class to learn how to make a 11" x" stained glass art. There was a Groupon…read morespecial for $20... What a bargain! This is for use of the studio, equipment and instructions. Note that you will need to pay extra for consumable materials such as glass (that you select), homasote board, solder, solutions (ex., patina), zinc came, etc. Don't be surprised if you lay out about $175+ for these extra materials (depending on your chosen glass). You will spend a minimum of 5 weeks to complete your project. I work fast, even taking some activities to do at home, and it took me 8 weeks (I did a 61-piece project). Other attendees will take 12 weeks or more, based on their abilities. The good thing is that the studio will not charge you extra for additional weeks. They will support you as many weeks as needed until you finish. If you are not the crafty type, pick "easier" patterns that require less/bigger glass pieces. Cody and helper Steve were super instructors. They provided help at every step, demonstrating what to do and how, then allowing you to try and be proficient at it. They were patient, and always willing to answer questions or step in when needed. I loved the class so much, and learned enough that I have invested in my own equipment to do more as my new hobby. (Equipment can be purchase in the studio.) I am hooked! Thanks so much Cody and Steve!

I was fortunate to attend these classes with my son. Cody and staff are patient while you learn…read more Students are at different steps in the process, so you also learn from each other. I would recommend participating with a friend or family member, so that you can share purchased supplies. This did take me 12 classes to complete, so plan on it taking you 9 or more classes to complete your piece. The supplies required are purchased as needed each week. Tools are provided as part of the class. I would budget $300 to complete your piece, $250 if sharing supplies (glass, glue, solder, flux, frame etc..). I would recommend buying an extra piece of practice glass to work on glass cutting before trying to cut your project glass. I would also spend a little more money on your favorite glass colors and textures. My glass for my butterfly was more expensive, but it made my project and I love it! You will learn new skills each week and have fun!

I drove an hour here to get Christmas gifts for my mom and sister. The store was quite full of people happily painting their ceramics. I thought the prices were rather high, but I did not realize the prices were meant for the items to be painted there, fired by the staff, and picked up later. Considering that, the prices were quite fair. When I took my items to the counter, once the nice lady found out my items were gifts to be painted at home, I was given a generous and very significant discount. My mom and sister loved their gifts and look forward to painting them soon. It's really great to see this now rare sort of "retro" arts and crafts store doing so well!

Johnny has been our instructor on more than one occasion and he's always so thoughtful with his instructions and so patient with everyone, It's always easy to reserve a wheel via text or phone call, which is recommended on busy weekends and evenings, but you can also drop in. There are several wheels in the studio and tables for adding the finishing touches like handles or other accents. You'll photograph your piece to locate it after it's been fired then return about a month later to glaze your piece. Make sure to paint three layers or the color will be super faint. A month after that you'll return to pick up your masterpiece and become hooked like me.

He gave us great techniques and tricks on making what we wanted. The first session is for you to make your own vessel and the next session in 30 days will be painting.

Pottery making is a skill and is so relaxing if you have patience and a vision.
