Absolutely wonderful. Learned a lot about glass blowing, and was amazed by this beautiful art. I would highly recommend this activity.
The class was really cool and interesting. Karl made the class a lot of fun while giving us good instructions to make our glass pieces. He was very helpful to hear how we wanted to color our pieces and guide us to make awesome glassware!
Carl was AMAZING, so entertaining and a great energy/vibe, we loved our class with him! We recommend this class to anyone looking for something different to do while traveling. They will package up your creation and also ship it too for a few if necessary.
This is a MUST DO in Sedona! Our instructor made us feel very comfortable which is important because our daughter is on the spectrum. We each made something different and unique. I’m trying to go again before we return back home.
The classes are reasonably priced and the instruction is awesome. I took a class one day with Jordan and made a flower and the next day with Karl and made a bowl. My best souvenirs are ones I get to make myself and these will rank at the top! The classes appear to be limited to 6 which is a good crowd for a 2 hour class. But you can leave after you have made your piece if you don’t want to stay in the hot furnace studio. Your piece will be ready for pick-up the following day since it needs to slowly cool—so keep in mind this is not a make and take! The atmosphere is friendly and the gallery is filled with exquisite pieces for sale, including jewelry.
It is amazing how it all works! The instruction was terrific and the safety measures were very reassuring. We had Carl and he was very patient and funny. So glad we found this adventure!
It's fun. Instructor did not take over unless needed. Explain the process prior to each application of glass particles. Safety was a priority.
IF YOU'RE VISITING SEDONA, THIS IS A MUST. FANTASTIC FOR KIDS/TWEENS/TEENS AND ADULTS. Our group of five had a private class yesterday with Jordan Ford--myself, my husband, my niece, and her two daughters, 12 and 14. Jordan is a gifted teacher. He's funny, engaging, incredibly skilled, and puts everyone at ease. I was amazed at all we accomplished in a two hour session. Everyone got to make something to keep. The class is very hands-on--expect to be choosing your colors, using the tools, blowing into a metal pipe, shaping your piece, etc. All of this is done under careful, expert guidance from Jordan. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Book a class for your family. Or for a friend group. A birthday or a special occasion. Beautiful way to do something new and make sweet memories. THANK YOU, JORDAN FORD!!!
We so enjoyed the glass blowing experience. We admire all the glass that was on display. My bowl came out wonder with our instructor. He was a good teacher and it was very safe
Really fun workshop! The guys were great at explaining the process, instructions, and both had a fun sense of humor! Would defiantly recommend if you're looking for something fun to do for just a few hours!
