We don't just want you to make a glass art project to take home with you. Instead, we want you to take home the skills to make lots of projects on your own. From the beginning, you'll be introduced to numerous different materials and taught a variety of different techniques. Instead of just learning the way we do it, you'll be free to select the method that best suits your own needs and preferences.
Each individual is unique and works in their own uniquely individual way. Each has their own preference in which tools they like best. Our goal is to provide the options from which you can choose. Our ultimate goal is to have you leave us able to build on the skills you've learned and continue to build beautiful glass art projects.
