Her…read moresoft demeanor and loving encouragement brings out the best in my three daughters as they express themselves in drawing and painting. My girls always remember their first class with her where she read them a book called "Ish". It was a special book about how things don't have to look perfect to be perfectly made they just need to look "flower-ish" or "house-ish". It was a great way to allow the children to understand that their art could be uniquely theirs.

If you don't like glass items you will be bored. We were not bored for a second. What we really loved was the man who may be the owner who knows everything about hand blown glass. I love glass vases. They also have glass nick knacks, not for me, but maybe you. Orient & Flume produces fine art glass. All their work is signed. They have iridescent and crystal clear glass. The vases are stunning. Take care of them, they are expensive. Nationally acclaimed for its excellence in design since 1972, they have won some awards and may even be in a gallery or two, I am not sure. I just know that the service was great. I got a wonderful vase and am a happy camper.

Visually, it was lovely to see musicians with cool art in the background, although the art on one of the walls to the left was sort of lame.
