Our Girl Scout troop went to Blow a Glass this weekend having no idea what to expect - and we were…read moreabsolutely delighted by the experience. Wes was wonderful with the girls. He was engaging, entertaining, and genuinely captivating. He shared that his grandmother was a Girl Scout, which motivated him to engage with our organization, and that personal connection made the experience feel even more meaningful. He began with a lesson on glassblowing outside by the kiln (and other hot oven-y stuff). What I appreciated most was how much information he shared in such an amusing and accessible way. He is dynamic and held the attention of both the girls and the leaders. We learned so much about the art of glassblowing and the artisan himself, experiencing the craft in a very personal, first-person way. (He even let some of our girls assist him.) At one point, he transformed a bowl into a cup and then into a vase in less than a minute. It was mesmerizing! We then went into the studio to work on our own creations. What was both scary and exhilarating was that, after going over the safety rules and receiving some instruction, we were largely on our own. Wes didn't stifle creativity or prescribe what our creations should look like. Instead, he encouraged us to work through questions ourselves, which left plenty of room for us to experiment, explore, and simply "play." The activity itself was absolutely wonderful. Wes provided a very generous amount of glass, and I truly felt like we had way, way more than enough material to enjoy the experience without worrying about running out. There was so much to choose from, and the girls had the freedom to make the experience their own. This activity has my highest recommendation. Wes is an exceptional teacher and a creative muse who knows how to educate, inspire, and give people the confidence to create. I will absolutely be coming back with my older Girl Scout troop! (The photo below was a "work in progress and not fired yet!)

So glad we finally got to try glass blowing! A private class is perfect. Wes is an obviously very…read moreknowledgeable and witty teacher, think Anthony Bourdain of glass blowing. He was very informative and encouraging throughout the whole class. You can tell he's passionate about the craft. It was really fun and I can't wait to see the cups we made. Definitely a great time, will be recommending to my friends. Pro tip: there's several emails sent before the class, read them. I did not and was technically late and didn't wear the proper shirt (long sleeve and not black), regardless Wes was accommodating and we had a great class.

I was grateful for the other participants who were helpful. I have looked at other ceramic study or 'classes' and many of them offer a specific session (for instance: mugs or vases making) this is open to your own creativity, which I liked. But if you're looking for instruction, or a situation where you can learn- this is not the best studio for that

I had such an amazing experience each time, that I then committed to trying to paint at least once a month at the week night classes around town. Since doing so, it has improved my overall life! My painting technique has progressed dramatically. I'm more creative at work, and have launched new personal projects. I've discovered new spots around town. But, most importantly, I have found a fantastic group of interesting and supportive people who inspire me to push myself. The Plein Air workshops and retreats are amazing, and the weekly themes range from serious to wacky. Some of my best work has come out of subjects I didn't think I *could* or would want to paint! No set up, no clean up!!! No judgement! Just focused creative time, interesting art history tidbits and guidance. Have brought complete novices, and they've had a blast. Join us!

I have been painting with Julio and Jen for 5 years now and never bored, only sad when I can't make it to an event. They have taken me locally to so many interesting and local places around Los Angeles, online when we were stuck at home and now globally with planned art trips (all supplies included!) My most recent trip to Salisbury England was epic. Due to their planning we were able to not only plein air paint at Stonehenge, they had arranged that we get a private tour within the stones themselves. I will be taking another trip with them to New York City this fall. Whether you are an experienced painter like myself, a beginner or any kind of art enthusiast you will love the conversation and expansion of your mind and heart that the Roofless Painters offers.
