Paull and two of his helpers put on a fantastic and fun workshop for a group of 20 people for us. Paull had two helpers with him in his studio to help the event go smoothly with everyone creating their own unique glass sculpture. With two benches going at a time, even when it's not your turn you will be thoroughly entertained watching fellow attendees work with hot glass and shaping it to create their own unique piece. One great aspect to the workshop was getting to place with the glass a bit before you come up with your final design. For beginner's (such as ourselves) this was a great way to learn how glass moves and to get a feel of how fast you need to move before the glass hardens up. So essentially we started playing with a small piece and then added more on later as we progressed through our time at the bench. Throughout the night they added a few techniques people could try to get the pieces looking thinner or longer and in the end everyone had a fantastic time. The workshop crew were friendly, kept safety in mind for attendees and very knowledgeable and skilled in the craft. They shared some great tips and really helped the pieces come together well. Furthermore Paull had arranged and set up food and drinks for our event as well, which again was excellent and there was something for everyone despite us having several dietary restrictions. I plan on going back and I highly recommend looking into Paull's studio for your special event needs for 1-20 people (and possibly 20+ if you can have an event longer than 4 hours).
Took a class this weekend and loved the experienced! Paul was super patient with my friend and I - TV makes this look so easy - I can't wait to see our creations!
I took a private class with a friend and it was such a cool experience. It’s obvious he loves what he does and is a really good teacher. We made 3 pieces of glass and they came out better then I thought they would considering I’ve never done it before. Highly recommend it.
Really amazing pieces of Art there was a pleasure to come by thanks again Paull
