I've taken a few classes at Brooklyn Glass and every one of them has been great. The instructors are obviously knowledgeable and do a great job teaching and helping everyone along with the projects, while still letting the students make their pieces their own way. Glass Implosions was awesome! Learned how to do a technique I've always admired in stores. Would totally recommend this and all their other classes.

Brooklyn Glass is an amazing studio setup with friendly and knowledgeable instructors. In this class I made 2 marbles and a small glass. I had the freedom let ask the instructors know what I wanted to make, which was then demonstrated to me individually. I did feel that teaching was mostly done led with demonstration, and then the rest of class was focused on making—you were left up to your own creation. There was less direction while we were working, more troubleshooting as needed. I suggest asking the instructors as many questions as you have about technique and methods if you're interested.

The teacher was great! I made mini vessels, and mini goblets! ! I learned a lot in 1 class.

The class was canceled due to low enrollment. I was given credit towards another class.

Instructors were very gracious, and adept at conveying their artistry with such a captivating medium. I was always intrigued by the beautiful objects inside the glass; now I know how they got there! I would love to come back often, unfortunately for me, distance makes that too difficult. My expectations for this class were by far surpassed, so if anyone reading this is indecisive you won't be disappointed. I did it at 70 and learned more than expected while enjoying the experience. Thanks Mike and David, for a such great educationally and artistically enriching day.
