    The class was great and the instructors were friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed to like teaching. It’s a real introduction into glass blowing and we made paperweights and bowls. I just wish the class started on time - while I know they want to wait for latecomers, everyone else ends up waiting. Definitely worth the money and travel though!

    first of all...the instructors were great. super nice. friendly and approachable. The issue was the class is waaaay to long for what it is and waaaay to expensive for what it is. In this 5 hour class you are interacting with glass for a total of maybe 10/15 minutes. A LOT of time is spent sitting around watching other people do stuff. I know a lot has to be explained but too much time is spent sitting around. For $220 i would expect a lot more time with the glass. Again, way to expensive for what it is. Working with the glass was fun but the instructors are really doing most of the work. I would highly suggest doing this in pairs for 1.5 hours and charging $100. Anything longer or more expensive i wouldnt be able to suggest to friends.

    We had 3 instructors, and only 1 of them (David) was very helpful and nice. Our 2nd project was candy dish, I was getting help from Dan - at the end of the project when he picked up my piece to put it into the holding place - it broke. He didn't care about, helping me out to do another one. When I asked him if something could be done - he just walked away to purchase himself coffee. Not really a class, I'll recommend someone to sign up to.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students who have taken classes at Free Form Vessels generally have positive feedback. They mentioned that the instructors were friendly, and professional, and enjoyed teaching. The classes provide a real introduction to glass blowing, allowing students to create paperweights and bowls. Students feel that the classes are worth the money and travel. The instructors are supportive of all skill levels and students can create three pieces during the course. While some students feel that the class is too long and expensive for the amount of actual glass interaction they receive, others appreciate the hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn the basics of blowing and pulling glass. Insightful quotes: 1. "In this 5-hour class you are interacting with glass for a total of maybe 10/15 minutes... too much time is spent sitting around. For $220, I would expect a lot more time with the glass." 2. "The instructors are really doing most of the work." 3. "Our 2nd project was a candy dish, and when it broke, the instructor didn't care to help me out or offer to do another one." These quotes highlight the concern some students have regarding the limited time spent working with the glass in comparison to the cost of the class, as well as the lack of support from certain instructors when issues arise. Despite these criticisms, there are still students who express their gratitude and enjoyment for the classes, thanking their teachers for a wonderful experience.
