It was very cool to experience it start to finish. I appreciated that the instructor pre-cut all the glass as that must've taken a while!
Improvements:
I think it could be a 3-4 hour class (maybe with a 20 minute break in the middle if you do a 4 hour class?) to accommodate all the steps.

Nothing ~ I had to leave as the class wasn’t as advertised. Pictures presented showed full glass making process and when I arrived everything was already done and no choice given for an adult class.
Improvements:
Better communication; different instructor. I’ve taken glass classes elsewhere, and this was an odd offering for this medium. The instructor wasn’t very good nor prepared.

I loved being able to pick a holiday themed piece and everything was already cut and ready for us. It was fun to be able to focus on putting all the pieces together. I felt like everyone in the class did such a great job!
Improvements:
I would love to have the chain to hang it as a part of the class but this isn’t a dealbreaker for me.

Elizabeth is wonderful. She knows her stuff and introduced drawing concepts in understandable, beginner-friendly ways. Having pencils and erasers provided was also valuable to try things out I wouldn’t have wanted to buy myself before knowing what they did and why I’d need them.
Improvements:
Class could be 1.5 hours.

Completely tailored to my child’s interest and goals! Gena doesn’t just go through the motions of teaching drawing technique. She brings in ideas specific to my child’s goals. And she is great about motivating and inspiring the creative process with different techniques, including addressing how to cultivate a mindset of creativity, daily habits and practices, and a focus on building skills and techniques. She’s great with my teenager! Very calm but fun! Highly recommend.
Improvements:
Move the center closer to Austin so it’s not as far from us! 😉
