Pros : Patient, thorough instructor explained each step very well. Class moved at a good pace - kept moving but not too fast. Would definitely take a class from our instructor, Daisy, again.
Pros : Very good for beginners. Patient and friendly teacher. Excellent prep of materials. Good beginning project. After a long week at work i needed someone to tell me "good job."
Pros : My boyfriend and I have our three year anniversary and this was the perfect way to celebrate! Daisy was an amazing instructor, and we had all the tools we needed to make our beautiful hearts. We’re definitely going to come back to buy the materials to start our own little workshop at home. We fell in love!
Pros : Teacher was positive, very helpful and very encouraging. She noticed a student struggling and gave special attention to her.
Cons : I wish we could of got a tour of the store and some explanations of what other projects were and what was involved in them because I may be interested in taking that class too.
Pros : Learned cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering! All in one short class. It was a perfect class to decide if you would like to go further. Low commitment, big reward!
Cons : None!
Other Thoughts : Workshops like this are perfect to get an idea what it's really about. I now know if I want to invest $200 in the 4 week class.
Pros : I thoroughly enjoyed the class and learned a lot from the very good instructor. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in starting stained glass projects. I’ll be taking more classes at Delphi in the future.
Pros : Amazing instructor
Great pace and instruction
Great explanation of how everything works
Patient
Great explanations on questions
The sun catcher project was a great way to start in
Cons :
Other Thoughts : Our time in class was a great experience. We had absolutely no experience with stain glass. By the time we walked out we had our projects in hand and a new hobby to do together. The class is very fun!
Pros : Easy instructions. Friendly helpful instructor. Great knowledge.
Cons : None
Other Thoughts : I bought this class for my mother who has always wanted to try it. I found myself really enjoying it myself, and will be picking stained glass up as a new hobby. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time and learned a lot.
Pros : Simple 3 hour project (heart), learned basic curve and straight cutting, grinding, foiling, and soldering.
Cons : My daughter (19) was burned pretty good by hot solder.
Other Thoughts : I would have liked a little explanation about types of glass, solder, and alternate techniques.
I would love a BYO project/open workshop.
Pros : Great beginners class that shows you many techniques to make stained glass projects. Class is small so easy to get assistance with instructor and use tools. They provide everything you need to make the project. Instructor was great and very clear in guiding you through the process and helping to learn.
Cons : None
Other Thoughts : Roy was very engaging and supportive.
Pros : We learned a lot in a relatively small amount of time.
Everything was provided for just the low cost of the class.
Jeanette did a great job of explaining, demonstrating, and helping throughout the whole class.
A great way to see if making stained glass is something you might want to do!
This particular class was after hours, so we didn't have to worry about interruptions or distractions.
Cons : Even with just 5 of us in the class, this is something that we could have used more one-on-one attention with. Near the end we all were at different steps of the process so it was a little crazy at times, but Jeanette DID do a great job helping us all out.
Other Thoughts : I am so glad I took this class! It really makes me want to take others (which I will) and learn more new skills. It's neat having something to take home with you at the end of the night to show others and be able to say, "I made that!"
Pros : I enjoyed this hands-on class very much. It was a small class of five attendees so we each were able to get the assistance of the instructor when we needed it. All materials were furnished. A variety of glass colors were available for our project. I choose red since I wanted my heart sun-catcher to be for Valentine's. The instructor provided good instructions in safety precautions using the equipment and materials. Learning the five main steps in working with stain glass projects - cutting glass, grinding edges, applying foil, flux and solder - were demonstrated by our instructor and she gave personal help to each student with patience and kindness. By the end of the class we each came away with our finished stain glass heart sun-catcher ornament and a hands-on working knowledge of the process. It was great!
Cons : No cons.
Other Thoughts : Maybe have the class listed as 6:00pm-9:00pm (instead of 8:30pm).
Pros : Jeannette is a great teacher. She's very informative and friendly. The class size is perfect, if you need a little one on one with the instructor, there's plenty of opportunity for that. All the supplies you need are provided. The class is not driven towards making sales, at all. I really appreciated that. Jeannette is there to share her wealth of knowledge with the students.
Cons : None!
Other Thoughts : All the employees are friendly and so helpful!
Pros : small class size
knowledgeable instructor
all supplies and tools provided
sufficient time to complete the entire project
Cons : can't think of any
Other Thoughts : I enjoyed this class. My husband came, too. This was his first "organized" class for an arts project. He struggled a little but the instructor was able to provide some one-on-one instruction and the project was successful. Husband said he would probably go again!
Pros : * All materials included
* Intro to glass cutting, grinding, and copper foiling
* Hands on
* Technique Tips
* Q & A
Cons : None
Other Thoughts : My wife and I really enjoyed this class. It gave us a good foundation to start our new stained glass hobby. After this class, we understood what equipment we needed to buy and had the fundamental knowledge to start our own projects.
Highly recommend, even if you're just exploring for a new hobby like us.
