We had such an awesome time experiencing glass making. Nathan was so awesome! He offered each of us the exact right amount of support and teaching to make sure we were successful. Highly recommend!!!

2 of us did a 1:1 session for 2 hours and made 4 objects -- we had a great time learning with Nate, definitely we'd come back when we are in the area again! Nate was an informed and patient teacher, and had a lot of great recs around the area.
