I have a modest amount of glass-blowing experience, having over 35 recent hours of hot-shop exposure and instruction. Recognize that this is not extensive experience, just enough to know the terminology, but not enough to feel “accomplished “ in any aspect of this art. A survey of the hot-shop and showroom identified a well organized and talented group of artists. I have participated in other one-on-one glass blowing experiences, but this class with CIa as my tutor had a very favorable outcome. I was able to assist in the creation of a rather handsome wine decanter, a project that was individually “well over my pay grade.” Cia first interviewed me, to gain not only some idea of my skills, but to understand my primary goals of the session. As the hour went on, she was able to further identify my strengths and weaknesses on the fly and provided me with the necessary instruction and hands-on assistance when needed throughout the lesson. I highly recommend the Liquid Light Glass organization, studio and artists. It’s a fascinating art and LLG shows it in the best possible (liquid) light.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful pottery class with Theo. It was our first time ever working with clay and Theo made us feel so comfortable; he’s an amazing teacher. We completed 5 pieces in 1.5 hours. Theo was very accommodating in helping us get them back home to VA as well. I was unable to leave without buying one of Theo’s pieces as well, his work is so beautiful!! Definitely recommend this experience in Santa Fe!!
