If you had asked me last week what I hoped to get out of the class, I would have told you that I hoped to get a better understanding of heat control and how glass moves. Bonus would be learning some useful techniques. If I came home with something I wanted to keep, that would be an unusual extra bonus. But I NEVER thought I would learn to enjoy working with 104. NEVER!!! Imagine my surprise when I woke up yesterday wanting to try more different things using what I learned as a starting point!
Leah is an excellent instructor. Her demos were well thought out to inspire creativity yet not so complex that l might think "I could never do that!" I really enjoyed this class and was able to expand my flameworking capabilities far beyond what I had expected. I would definitely consider another class with Leah.
Look forward to future endeavors ! We really appreciated all your teaching and skill reminders. Basic dot placement , encasement, (petal shapes) , just great to see what those skills can do for such a beautiful final lampwork vessel piece. Your patience and assistance with every one was very encouraging.
If anyone is looking for an amazing teacher of vessels, Leah Nietz Glass is the best.
Leah attended ""open studio"" time as well and assisted with learning new techniques, how to build our skills. Quite a long working day, she was very patient and helpful.
Leah is the best instructor. Calm, encouraging, witty sense of humor, patient, and generous.
