- 5/5 from Briana Barker, attended Oct 2026: Everyone was so helpful and gave me tips for my personal project. Best place to play and try new things!
- 5/5 from Briana Barker, attended Aug 2026: I had a fantastic time with Mark. He's a great teacher, so it feels very safe to experiment and practice when he's around. I'll definitely be back!
- 5/5 from Marcus Killian, attended Aug 2025: Yeah, great skills! It's not as easy as he makes it look! Thank you Mark!
- 5/5 from Ece Yavuz, attended May 2025: it was absolutely incredible! The instructors were not only talented and knowledgeable but also very patient and encouraging, making the whole experience welcoming. The studio was well-equipped and safe, and we got hands-on right away. It was fascinating to learn about the techniques and then actually create a piece myself. I ended up making a beautiful glass ornament that I got to take home—such a cool souvenir and memory! This class was a perfect mix of creativity, craftsmanship, and fun. Whether you're looking for a unique date idea, a solo adventure, or something fun with friends, I can't recommend it enough!
- 5/5 from Geran Atkinson, attended May 2025: Practice sessions are in Mark’s studio are a fantastic way to practice on your own while having someone there to make sure all is safe and supply the right tools + materials for what you’re working on. I couldn’t recommend the studio more. It has a great open and friendly feel to it, the space is clean and comfortable and fully equipped
- 5/5 from Yael Saar, attended Jun 2024: Mark is a wonderful instructor and the studio is such a fun place. I can’t wait to come back.
- 5/5 from Lauren Cole, attended Jun 2024: Mark and his family are so lovely and helpful! We will be back for more classes :)
- 5/5 from Alex Jackson, attended Jan 2024: Mark’s a great instructor, he makes it fun and supports when you need help
