  • Neon 101

    Amazing class. Teaching staff was very knowledgeable and patient, I learned a lot and highly recommend anyone interested in neon to go for this class!
  • Stained Glass and 3D Sculptures

    Anonymous review on 4/23/2018
    Great introduction to stained glass and 3D modeling. Accommodating if you came with ideas but also fine for those of us who didn’t.
  • Introduction to Kiln Casting

    Anonymous review on 5/15/2015
    I learned so much in this kiln casting class! The atmosphere was great and Dorie was a wonderful teacher. I would recommend going into the class with ideas, but also an open mind. The class is much more enjoyable and rewarding if you go into it wanting to experiment and learn techniques rather than trying to create polished gallery-ready pieces.
