My husband and I really enjoyed making wine glasses at Zen Studios. It was more than what I expected ...so cool. So interesting to learn the process. The base and goblet were already made, we got to make the stem. Austin was a great teacher. Thanks so much!
I wish I could say that I actually had an opportunity to utilize this facility but it never got that far. I went there in person to inquire about both having some specialty beads made, as well as taking a torch glass-working class. I was treated pretty dismissively but just chalked it up to an artist being temperamental.
I sent several emails with examples of some beads for inspiration and when I hadn't heard back after a couple weeks I followed up with a phone call. I called and left a message to find out if they had even received my emails. No response. So I called again and got the "other" business partner and he assured me that someone would get back to me by end of day.
After a few days had gone by and again no response, I called again. This time I was treated like I was hounding them when all I wanted to know if they had received my emails and were even interested in making beads for me? I decided this was not a business I wanted to work with in any capacity.
My mom had given me $200 to take a class at Zen. Instead, I will be taking a class from the Morean Art Studio where I was treated respectfully and efficiently. I am wondering how they stay in business? Do the group activity parties really keep them going?
This place is class!!! David patiently guided me for my workshop. So much fun!
Update: Picked up my paperweight today! Looks amazing! Highly recommend trying this out!
My kids had lost their father a couple of years back. Josh at Zen Glass made a wonderful collection of custom glass figurines, incorporating their dad's ashes. He was careful to send updates and make sure they were exactly as I wanted through the whole process. Josh is an amazing artist.
This was an amazing experience. Austin and Zack are amazing instructors. They made everything safe and fun. I’m definitely going to come back when I travel back here and do this again. Thank you guys so much for the amazing energy and experience
