Question 1

I have no experience doing glass.  Can I join your classes?  How do I move to the next level?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  All of our Level 0 courses are meant for our students with no experience.  These classes are also fun to repeat to create the same project with different colors or patterns.  To move to a Level 1 course “The Next Level”, first a Level 0 course must be completed. These must be completed within the same type of glass course, which are glass blowing, fused glass or project classes, and stained glass classes.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Question 2

Do I have to make the project pictured in the stained glass courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all stained glass courses have specific designs chosen to allow the student to complete the course in the time period allotted and learn the skills needed to move on.  Many classes have multiple designs with the same skills required to choose from.  If you wish to see those, please stop in and we will happily let you peruse them. Patterns will not be emailed.
The Intermediate 3 week course, Level 2, does have more flexibility after your first time taking the class. With your first time taking the class, you will be required to choose from a variety of predetermined patterns, which will be chosen before your first class.  Your second time taking the class will allow more flexibility. Please talk to your instructor at least 1-2 weeks before class to talk through your pattern or it may not be available for your first week of class.

Question 3

What is minimum age for participation?

Accepted Answer

Classes do have minimum ages since classes use very sharp and/or extremely hot materials.  The class will show minimum ages.  If you have an artist outside of that minimum age, contact us and see what we can do.  Absolutely no exceptions will be made on the glass blowing minimum age of 12.
