If you're looking for a cookie cutter Paint'n'Sip experience with laminated instructions, a…read morecorporate manual, and the only risk is some paint on your chinos, this isn't it. Agnes's glass studio is the opposite of franchised fluff. It's a living, breathing space of craft, care, and quiet mastery. Blowing glass is hard work with way more risk since you are working with molten glass. Agnes isn't following a manual. She has decades of experience. She knows what needs to be done, what you need to, what is safe, and what is above your skill level (that means some tasks are going to be done by Agnes). She has a deep respect for the medium and during your session, you will attempt to do the same. Yes, there are some old Groupon era reviews floating around, but let's be honest: those deals were coercive traps set by intermediaries who didn't care about the sustainability of small studios. Studios were pressured to offer steep discounts that brought in volume. That's not a reflection of her work, it's a reflection of a broken model. What you'll find now is something far more rare: a studio that trusts you to learn, to make mistakes, and to create something real. Agnes doesn't coddle, but she does empower. She's generous with her knowledge, firm when needed, and quietly celebratory when you get it right. What you will likely learn: gathering, marvering, color application, jacking, inflation, shaping, rolling, paddles, expanding, transfer to punty, and annealing. If you don't know any of these terms, you would do yourself a favor by catching a 10-15 minute video on YouTube before heading to class. If you already know all of this, Agnes may be able to create a higher level course around incalmo, battuto, or flameworking.

Signed up for the beginner's glass blowing workshop class (5 students and a teacher). Four of us…read moremade flower paperweights where we picked our rock colors, dipped the molten glass into the mix, set it into the kiln, rolled and shaped it on the bench, and gently knocked it off the rod. One person made an orb that the instructor, Agnes, demonstrated the glass blowing technique. The whole process from start to finish was amazing, a little nerve-wracking at times (working in a hot environment with spontaneous glass) but overall a fun thrilling experience! Agnes is extremely knowledgeable. She shared with us her studies in Italy and how she has dominated in a predominately male field. She runs her own business and sets her own hours, so at times she may not be quick to respond but was a great communicator in class and afterward when we scheduled pick-up of our finished pieces.

This wellness activity arranged by my group was so fun and relaxing. The week has been crazy and…read morethis allowed me to work off my stress. Danielle explains the process well and provides direction. She also encourages creativity and self care. We had so much fun even though most of the group don't consider them artists. Danielle had drawn the outline of the ladybug and provided reference pictures. We could select the colors in the picture or our own. And step by step guidance is provided if you want to follow along. So easy. Danielle sells pre packaged kits which you can give as gifts or purchase for your own enjoyment. I'm saving one for my son who loves art. Can't wait to paint with him. Danielle offers sessions in the park so I'm waiting to participate in one.

My wife & I purchased an oversized photograph (66x22) from a gallery in our favorite vacation spot…read more We made several trips to the 'chain' frame shops only to have them tell us that the photo was too big and it couldn't be framed. Fortunately, we came across Tam O'Neill and Cherry Creek Custom Framing. Tam was very accommodating and reassuring after we explained our previous failures, and we spent a great deal of time going over several options and prices. Tam has obviously been in the art business for a while, and made several appropriate recommendations based on our budget and style. The final product turned out to look absolutely beautiful! We couldn't be happier with the result! The photo has become a center piece in our family room and a conversation starter whenever we have company. I won't go anywhere else to have my art / photos framed! Thank you SO much, Tam! We love our new picture and spectacular frame!

Monique was so sweet and accommodating and made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day. She matched my vision entirely and the lounge area was my favorite part of the night!! Their prices are incredible and hard beat, and they are the nicest people ever - you will not regret booking them! My only regret is that I don't have another wedding coming up to hire them for lol - but I'm sure I'll think of some kind of excuse to rent their beautiful sets again in the future. Thank you both SO much!

Monique knew exactly what I was asking for and put together a very reasonably priced packaged for us that included a beautiful wine sette, sweetheart chairs, a cool black and white rug, candelabras, and plants. Monique even was kind enough to throw in another free chair to complete our set! She took care of all the set up and pick up, so all we had to do was enjoy our stunning victorian furniture. Aside from the beautiful furniture, Monique was very communicative and transparent about set up, pick up, and costs. If you are wanting to incorporate some stunning period pieces on your special day, I can't recommend Now and Forever enough! Thank you for everything Monique!
