Then I saw that there was a Groupon for it, and told my daughter that is what I want to do for my birthday this year. I booked it online and was so happy that they were open on a Tuesday, because that was my actual birthday. During the online booking process we each had to choose between vase, wavy bowl or plate. My daughter and I both chose to create a wavy bowl. Then we looked for inspiration online on how we wanted to design our wavy bowls so we would have some sort of plan when we arrived and have maximum time to work on our projects. It was a beautiful drive from Clearwater. The studio had so many creative pieces to look at. Our instructor was great and taught us everything we would need to know about cutting the glass and items we could use to create our own unique masterpieces. We came back a week later to pick up our fused glass art after it had been placed in the kiln. We had such an amazing time, and I can't wait to go again. This may be my new addiction. There are so many different projects to choose from at the studio. We were so happy and proud of our finished wavy bowls when we picked them up. It was such an incredibly fun way to celebrate my birthday. I will be back!

My aunt consulted about buying one of the pieces and the curator was kind about it, talkative but that's not a bad thing to me. I love the glasswork, Id recommend seeing the dolphin pieces and the wavelike and fire pieces. There were two paintings I really liked, the black and red two chairs and the pink and grey tree. If I wasn't a minor and didn't have any money I would purchase one of them. The manatees were adorable too. The gemstone pieces were also great, I don't even want to think about how pricy they are if they were real, but they're so beautiful i'm sure it's worth the price. Plus it seems like they were individually hand-set, so it is worth the price to compensate the artist for hours of hard work. The peacocks were beautiful too.
