    Jessica has a passion for her work, and she shared that with my friend and I. She took the time to teach us the basic skills of cutting the glass, Helping us when we needed it. She provided helpful suggestions for colors and materials and was great throughout the entire class. I will absolutely attend more of her classes. She is a welcoming, fun instructor!

    My boyfriend and I had a great experience with Jessica making our blown glass bowls. We both love blown glass but had never tried it ourselves. Jessica talked us through the process and safety procedures and then worked with us step by step to create 2 unique bowls. The whole experience was awesome and we hope to come back and make something else with Jessica in the future :)

    Jessica was fantastic to work with! While keeping everything safe (always a plus around molten glass), she made the class go so smoothly that can only be done with years of experience behind her. Definitely recommend working with her!

    Jessica is an excellent teacher! My teen, never-wanting-to-do-or-try-anything son is very excited to take another class--and that is saying something. Thank you for an excellent experience!

    My husband and I attended this class for his birthday and had a wonderful time. Jessica was kind, patient, and an excellent teacher. She allowed us plenty of hands on experience, but made sure to help out when we needed it. Would definitely recommend this class and already planning our next lesson.

    Jessica knows how to balance teaching with doing – I did enough that I felt like I actually had an impact on the project's outcome, but she did enough to ensure a successful outcome :) Great class!!

    Jessica did a great job communicating to schedule this class. The studio is a little tricky to find but it worked out. My friend and I were pleased with her instruction and attentiveness. Must be somewhat creative and recognize that the piece will not be perfect since glass fusing takes a while to learn. We are looking forward to seeing our final results.

    This class was SO fun and there was a lot of hands on for a beginner class. Jessica clearly loves to share her love for all things glass.

    Jessica was an awesome instructor and it was so cool to see her work process and studio. My jellyfish turned out really beautiful and I loved that you could customize the color and shape so it was uniquely yours. Great experience and would definitely recommend to others!

    This class was a really great experience. Glassblowing was different than I imagined it would be. I would encourage anyone with an interest in glassblowing or an appreciation of the art to take this class.

    I took the Glassblowing Pumpkins Class with my partner and could not have enjoyed it any more. The instructor J managed to keep the atmosphere productive, friendly, fun despite amateurs handling molten glass in her studio. I would recommend this class to anyone.
