"I took a glass blowing class at Patterson Glassworks 4/7/12 and was very impressed. Peter & Bill were both friendly and professional; the class was informative and fun! They started the class with Peter demonstrating how to make our paperweights, we then all made our own paperweights (heavily guided by our instructors). A Q&A session followed, and Peter closed the class by demonstrating another glass blowing technique. They also have many of gorgeous small and large hand made pieces for sale at the studio including religious items. I highly suggest taking a class with a friend! **Note that you will have to pick up your finished piece a few days later as the glass is slowly cooled in a kiln."

"Peter Patterson is very knowledgeable and patient. He starts with an intro about himself, explains all the tools and then gives a high-level overview of the entire process for how we will be making our glass paperweight (round or egg shaped). I will admit that at first the process was actually a bit intimidating. However, he and his assistant Bill walk you through each step of the very hands-on process. With their help, you will end up making your very own glass masterpiece! "
