Relevant Feedback
Lindsey and Mickey were so friendly and helpful. They explained each step perfectly and were very patient with each of us as we made our projects. Gave us help when needed and offered advice and suggestions along the way. Loved hearing about their history with stained glass, which made the class personable. I have zero complaints! Such a fun day and experience! Thanks to everyone who put this together. Highly recommend to others.
It was excellent!! I learned so much. I have always wanted to know how to do stained glass but I was not comfortable trying on my own!! Instructors were so good!!
The teachers were excellent! They walked us through step by step. Mick was always encouraging saying ‘We can make that work.’
I appreciate the opportunity to learn another form of creative expression. It was a very refreshing and intense day of learning A time well spent Thank you so much for organizing this class
