here's what our students have to say...

The teachers were both extremely helpful and provided wonderful guidance and tips.

Just really enjoyed the experience and love our creations! it was a lot of fun.

Our instructors were fantastic, and our group had a great experience.

The workshop was one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do around Pittsburgh.

The class was entertaining and informative. I will definitely be going again.

The beginner classes are a blast and completely accessible for anyone, even if you’ve never made anything in glass before.

Excellent time, as always. Have taken a variety of classes over many years. Knowledgeable, friendly staff every time.
