"For almost a year I've been taking online courses at Zurich Glass School and there's no doubt that the courses of the master Shane Fero are one of the most charming. I haven't passed the current course yet, but the other two I did and they were amazing to my taste. In addition to his beautiful works that he teaches, the lessons are accompanied by professional explanations from Julie Anne Denton that adds a deep understanding of the use and work with glass."
" I have to tell you that I really love your classes. You are a natural teacher and so willing to share your knowledge. Thank you so much. I'm so glad that you reached out when I first looked at your site. "
" Julie Anne Denton is an amazing teacher. I had very little time doing anything with glass and just like Holly I am making things. Julie tells you why you are having specific problems and then you can improve. She’s a great teacher who is also funny. Her knowledge is boundless. "
" If you want an AMAZING virtual education experience, sign up for this class. Julie personally mentors every student to a level of success. My flameworking has improved so much & my confidence has increased dramatically.
Now go sign up! What more are you waiting for? "
" I was just thinking yesterday that I hope there is a Beginner 2 class sometime in the near future (funny since I barely know what I’m doing now but it’s exiting to be looking forward to learning more).
I don’t have access to learn this locally and trying to figure this out solely from YouTube is tough.
I’m actually making something that looks like something....how cool is that? "
" I’m so glad you decided to give this a try and I’m glad to be part of your first on-line class!! "
" I’m in the middle of my second class with Julie. I’m brand new to flamework and I’m already making animals and torsos!
I can’t say enough good things about Julie’s teaching style and how much my one-on-ones with her have helped me.
It’s well worth the money! "
