My daughter had a birthday party here today. When I called to arrange the party, the staff member…read moreI spoke with was very helpful. My daughter wanted a smaller party, with herself and 4 guests and they were very accommodating. We chose the "dazzling davinci" package, which includes a full size picture. When we arrived for the party, I informed that we had only had 2 people confirmed to attend, and one was going to be late (softball picture day, apparently). The staff said this was no problem, and said we could start as they came in. My daughter and her first guest got started, but while a staff sat and gave step by step to the friend, my daughter was given starter instructions and I had to prompt not once or twice but many times for the next steps. The third guest arrived shortly after and a second staff sat with her, again giving step by step instructions while my daughter, the birthday girl, was left hanging. This was quite frustrating, but my kid took it in stride. A third guest arrived when our time was almost up, so while I understand she couldn't complete a whole picture, we were told that she could free paint but they were out of full size paper (which of course, we had paid for! ) . The package was also supposed to include nail art (or glass coloring), which they did not do. We were supposed to have had a reserved party area for 2 hours, but another party was scheduled to overlap ours which was incredibly awkward, so we rushed through cupcakes and snacks, etc. The "deluxe" party favor included 3 dumdum lollipops, a hard candy, a cheap plastic ring and a tiny plastic wand. They did accomodate face paintings for the late guests, which was nice. However, I was disappointed in their uneven distribution of attention, and running out of the supplies we had paid for. Over all, I likely won't reccomend a party here.

Sheri-Ann was amazing. 35yrs in the business and she knows her glass. She was very friendly and clear and gave us great guidance. A few helpful tips and tricks that she passed on. Basic instruction and then just let us go to town. We used all types of colored frit, they have every color in the rainbow AND every possible texture & opacity. We made a few flowers and I even did a frog & lily pad. I simply cannot wait to see the final product. Should be a week or so. I highly recommend you check this place out. Great value for your money. Right in downtown Vancouver. We'll be back. Maybe to even try another class, stained glass?! Or maybe to better hone our frit-laying skills. So much fun. Thanks to Sheri-Ann & Carla for having such a great local destination for fun artistic creation!

They have everything set up for you and they have aprons available but I definitely encourage you to bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty.

I ended up having time to make 3 pieces in total. Highly recommend - very fun and a nice challenge!
