Recent reviews of Glass Pendant and Beadmaking Course
- 5/5 from Sandy Lee, attended Jul 2026: Ethan was amazing. I learned a lot and he's open to any ideas/suggestions you may have to meet your goals. Helpful without hovering. Have already signed up for additional classes.
- 5/5 from Lamb Chamberlin, attended Jul 2025: This was an awesome class! We went through all the safety info first, then watched a demo and tried making beads ourselves. There were so many colors of glass and different textures and shapes to try, that even the wonky beads ended up looking like works of art. We were brand new to glass working but Ethan was very patient and made it easy to understand the concepts. Definitely want to take another glass class!

Ethan Stern, originally from Ithaca, New York, now lives in LA’s Frogtown neighborhood, where he and his wife Amanda run Studio Melt—a creative space focused on sculpture, design, and community. With a background in ceramics and glass from schools in Australia and Alfred University, Ethan’s work pushes glass beyond tradition, embracing bold textures, light, and color. His pieces have been shown around the world and live in major museum collections, but at the heart of it all is his love for the handmade and the beauty found in every carved mark.
