Mirror Party
I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. However, I do feel like I did not fully understand the chemical reaction so I would like it to be explained a bit more. After we completed the project, it was not clear when we were able to pick up our product and how to add the finishing touches. I felt I had to keep following up to figure out how to get my belongings completed. -

The teacher was wonderful. Supplies were plentiful. We got a great tour of Urban Glass so I need to decide what to try next. I think everyone was very pleased with their projects. Please note that the projects are 10x10 inches. It was a pleasant surprise that they were larger than a coaster. -
