Recent reviews of Glass Flameworking Class

  • 4/5 from Taylor Lee, attended Oct 2026: My partner and I went for date night and had a blast! Max, the instructor, was engaging and helped break things down in easy to understand steps and was willing to jump in and help when needed. Fair warning, it was hot! We wore long sleeves and pants out of an abundance of caution and it just caused us to over heat.
  • 5/5 from Daniel Herman, attended Aug 2026: Max was an excellent instructor. Great vibes, fun, and interesting. Would highly recomend to anyone who is interested in working with glass or just wants to try a new artistic or crafting activity.
  • 5/5 from Mahli R Hayes, attended May 2026: Mak was fantastic! Our group learned so much and also had so much fun! We will definitely be booking again. This is a fun activity to unleash your creative side but also learn about different techniques. And the mushrooms turned out SO CUTE! The mushrooms are small but you have time to make a bunch!!!
  • 5/5 from Lindsay Chladek, attended May 2026: This class was so fun!! Max was so personable, explained things really well, and made this an effortless experience. He was very patient and skilled. My husband and I booked this and we can’t wait to book more classes with Max. We have no previous experience with glass frame working, but we were successful in making several pieces thanks to the clear and helpful guidance and troubleshooting when needed. Can’t wait to see how our pieces turned out! This was such a unique and novel activity to do, 10/10 recommend!
  • 5/5 from Martha Feiler, attended Dec 2025: Max was an amazing teacher! He made it easy to get started, and have a few finished projects by the end of the class. He knew exactly when to help and when to let you do your own thing. A great class for anyone whether or not you have art experience. This class was so fantastic, we had so much fun, would go back again!
