I've never seen anything quite like this business, and I mean that in the best way…read more This should be your new "go-to" if you are seeking a custom gift, or a unique piece for your own home. I'll start by saying that my very goal was to give my father in law a special gift. Something you couldn't get anywhere else. After hearing stories of his childhood, and some of the things that meant something to him as a child, I looked to recreate an old sign in glass. Fortunately, Facebook pointed me to Groovy Moon Glass, and the owner Nicole, who happens to have her storefront right there in my hometown. I started by reaching out to Groovy Moon Glass through Facebook, and telling Nicole what I was looking for. She had great vision - from my ideas she crafted a design that was even better than I had imagined. She also had an amazing knowledge of what size I would need to really make the details pop. The finished product - beautiful! Hanging in the window, the light shines through and it really catches the eye. Truly, it's a centerpiece that my father in law absolutely loves. I had it shipped directly to him in Colorado. I haven't done this (yet!) But she makes incredible portraits of people's pets, and everyone raves about how great those are as gifts. That will be my next purchase! Something they do that I also have not taken advantage of - classes in store! Check out her Facebook for pics of the kids classes, which look super great. There's nothing like a custom piece, but keep in mind - custom items take time and don't always come cheap. Believe me, though, you get something more valuable than what you pay - a piece that is one of a kind, and absolutely sure to be something that the recipient, or you, treasure forever. I'm so glad I found Groovy Moon Glass, thankful for Nicole's talent, and even more grateful that this place is in my hometown making it a better place.

One of my sorority sisters recommended this place. Several of us booked one of the class sessions…read moretogether on a Sunday morning. There were others in the class that weren't with our group. Doing a private class is much more expensive. As is, it was $70 for this particular class. Read the prerequisites in advance and follow the instructions for your safety. You need to wear closed toe shoes, pull your hair back, and wear all cotton clothes. It's hot, especially during the summer months when the kilns are baking and the outside temperature is extreme. I was told that the last time my ZTA sister was there, one of the workers passed out because of the heat. Take the precautions seriously. Arrive early! Complete your waiver forms online before you come. You will create your artwork in the order you arrive. This is okay if you don't want to go first and don't mind waiting. Sadly, I was the last to arrive, so my ZTA sisters had to wait and watch every single student make their piece until I went. You will do less than you think. All of it is guided and you will have someone holding the hot poker WITH YOU the entire time. This is a good thing because you can relax and enjoy the experience without the fear of messing up. The biggest worry you will have is what color or colors to choose for the piece you decide to create. I went with the flower which was more complicated than the hummingbird feeder. I used the colors teal and nebula. These colors were so popular, they didn't have enough at the end, so they laid my glass shards on the table where I rolled them into the piece instead of dipping them like everyone else. You will need to return a week later to pick up your piece. It takes time for the glass to cure without thermal shock. I'm likely to come back and do this again, but I might do it with the ash remains of a loved one. They have these beautiful pieces that you weave the ashes into and then everyone can take a piece home of their loved one. I found this experience intriguing and would encourage others to give it a try too.

Not only was it the first time I worked with this type of clay, but the learning experience was great in so many other ways. The techniques used have served Lorri well in her amazing art, which is displayed in private collections and publicly in cities everywhere. It was a joy to learn from her; she has a down-to-earth, laid back attitude and a great sense of humor. The others in the workshop were excellent to be with for the long weekend and the experience levels ranged from beginner to seasoned. Because the pieces were raku fired, waiting with the group for the pieces to finish was a fun and exciting time. I'd recommend this class to anyone interested in clay. Lorri and her husband, Adam Schultz, will be holding workshops at Holder Dane in March, with Adam's figurative clay workshop March 24-26 and Lorri's figurative paper clay workshop March 27-29. This is a rare opportunity that you won't want to miss!
