Scott was super easy to talk to, took time to explain options, and made the whole process feel straightforward instead of overwhelming. What we appreciated most was how genuine everything felt. It was not just drop something off and pick it up later. We actually had some solid conversations about business, music, and creativity while working through the project which made it feel more personal than transactional. The final frame came out exactly how we pictured it. Clean work, great communication, and just good people to deal with. Definitely planning to come back for future projects.

They are true family heirlooms and I treasure them. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this project, from choosing the layout, to the special fabric matting to frame selection. A truly professional job and your expertise is priceless. I highly recommend Scott and his fantastic business. Thank you! Lisa C. New York, NY

This was no painting party, this was no craft party, it was truly something different! It is for all levels of creativity; From not a creative bone in your body to the most creative designer. We all made beautiful creations and had such a ball, we could have stayed for hours more! Anna served devious food and was beyond a gracious host. I was in awe of the behind the scenes effort and thoughtfulness of prepping the canvases, gathering the glass, materials, and the applying the finishing coat. Whenever one us got stuck creatively, Anna and her staff were right there to help and offer suggestions You have got to experience the process first hand. You will marvel at the Art work Anna has created. A spectacular party! We will all be back!

HEADS UP LONG DETAILED REVIEW!!!!!…read more AMAZING PLACE/CLASS WITH AWESOME PEOPLE RUNNING IT!! Il start with a quick brief by saying I have been interested in glass blowing forever and just never really even thought to try and pick it up till now since I have my own house and the place to set up properly. Me and my brother were about to take a ride down to Corning NY to look more into the craft when we came across this studio out on the island. We reached out and the response time between Facebook and email was really impressive/fast and extremely helpful with long responses and detailed explanations... When first arriving to the class we came in the front doors and were really impressed with the layout and gallery style rooms. The creativity in the gallery rooms is out of this world from the glass art to the LI fish tank cut out and even the attention to detail of using trees to hold up the shelves. When you first arrive your in a room with necklaces, pendents, and other small items then as you round the corner you phase into a different style of glass work which is incredibly artsy and done by a lot of extremely talented people. This area is What most people are coming for I would imagine and the work put in on some if these pieces is really something that you could look at all day plus some. As we were looking the owner LIG Joe came in and introduced himself and explained some of his techniques and was a real awesome just down to earth dude... He took the time to answer whatever questions we had and explained how he came up with some of his works of art... Next we started the workshop where the artist B$ introduced himself and again was another good dude willing to answer any questions we had and take the time to explain... It was nice to see the class was small and only had 4 people in it... (me , my brother, dad, and another kid we met there)... First we went through and he explained the kilns and the tools to us and then moved back towards the class area. In this area he started by explaining the gasses and how to properly ignite and turn off the torches. He then did a quick demo of what we would be doing ourselves only a short time later... After all this we went into production and he came around to each person giving us tips and explaining to us what to do next or how to fix what was happening... The small class atmosphere made it easy for each student to get individual attention and be able to ask your own questions (he also came around and took pics with your phone so you would have them for facebook/insta/etc...)... We then wrapped up by putting our piece in the kiln for pick up the next day. The class finished with B$ answering any other questions we had and wrapping the day up... What we ended up with at the end of the boro class was a pendent which could be jewelry, fan/lamp puller, etc.. Basically a marble with a loop on it, this may sound simple until you sit down and try it yourself for the first time... I promise you will get a wayy different outlook on the glass you see in head shops, sculptures, and all other glass art forms... Even though you make a "basic" piece to start with you learn so much about the art and get a good feel at how it is done and what it takes for people to make the other pieces you see... This class is definitely worth it and I would highly recommend going into the gallery again after and it will give you a completely different outlook on the skill it took to make each piece. Class was amazing along with all the highly skilled people working at it! Definitely recommended!!! Sorry for the long review but wish I had something like this to read when I was looking into it, rather then asking questions... We will be back for more 1 on 1 and 1 on 2 classes!! The opportunities are endless and after this class there is many other classes you can take with them to expand your skill level or even rent a spot!! Even if you do not want to get into the craft but would like something fun/new and interesting to do TAKE THIS CLASS... Like i said it gives you a whole new outlook on glass and is just a fun experience all around... Thanks Again!!
