Love this place! Will likely be back! I have a rare disability (hEDS) that causes my wrists and finger joints to be hypermobile (too bendy; not very stable), and both my main instructor Sasha and the other instructor who came to visit about halfway through the class (I unfortunately forget her name) were extremely kind and encouraging. Really a nice experience!!! Lovely people, high-quality facilities, thoughtful instruction, and a really cool finished product/project that I love! 💕

Stained Glass Nightlight Group Class exceeded expectations! Sacha is insanely talented and is a great instructor. I loved that you actually learn how to make a stained glass piece yourself. I left with a greater appreciation for stained glass art and love that I made something I will actually use.
