Testimonials

Zeinab Mokdad, a 10th grade student was very excited about the beads she made at the Glass Academy. She is thinking of incorporating them into a necklace for her Jewelry/Metalsmithing class at Fordson.

Amazing class. Historical knowledge of glass was a bonus. It was fascinating and engaging. Instructor was great.

The intricate designs that they made, just like shaping clouds in a midnight sky, absolutely blew my mind. How they could make small glass horses was beautiful. Glass has ‘rockability.’

Everything was great. We came in thinking we were making a cherub, which was offered, but were pleasantly suprised when we found out we could make anything we wanted (within design perimeters). We will definitely be watching for e-mails on events to come back.

I would like to THANK YOU again for the great tour and hands on project. The clients really enjoyed it and the glass stamps were really fun for them to walk away with. They loved blowing the glass bubbles, how fun!

The glassblowing trip was fun because they showed the properties of glass, states New Morning Middle School science student.

I heard about the Glass Academy through Greenfield Village but this Groupon coupon put me over the edge to get over there and I’m sure I’ll be coming back.

I wanted to let you know how beautiful the awards are that you produced for the Dancing with the Stars event. So many people commented on the design of these pieces. It’s been great working with both of you and look forward to future projects.

Hope you do Groupon again. That was a great discount.

Really enjoyed the beadmaking class. Bill really encouraged us to experiment! We are coming back for more.

I LOVED the class. What a great opportunity, so unique and fun! I would love to take more classes, it was a blast!

Loved it – will come back. The instructor was very helpful and the greeter very informative.

Super class! Instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. Fun, Fun, Fun.

I love your Academy! I experienced the molten glass class, made a flower, and it’s the pride and joy item I show off in my home! I have attended many of your events and think the studio is a ‘must see’ adventure for any out of towner, or locals who weren’t aware of your location.

I love the flexibility of being able to create original art. What a wonderful place. Thank You!

We love the goblets and use them all the time, and we think of you especially when we are using them.

Those of you who have never been to the Glass Academy in Dearborn do not know what you’re missing. Chris and his staff create the most incredible hand crafted glass works of art that your eyes have ever seen. I addition, he offers many sessions which not only create, but also educate so that you can learn what goes into making beautifully unique pieces. Do yourself a favor and check out their schedule on line, then GO and see for yourself. I promise, you will be amazed!

Very much enjoyed your class. Will be taking another.

I am very happy that the Glass Academy is located right here in Dearborn. I thought the glassblowing class was very exciting and I look forward to taking another glass making course this summer with CCS, states 11th grader Nada Hmayed.

You guys do incredible things at the Furnace, and your kindness is rivaled only by your artistic ability.

AWESOME! Don’t change a thing. Environment is great; instructors are great. Totally loved it.

It was fun to try a brand new experience. Enjoyed the history of glassblowing. Instructor was very skilled at his craft. Background and history regarding the craft was very informative. Hands on instruction was very good with assistance only as needed.

I just wanted to say that the Hot Glass coffee and dessert evening offered for Henry Ford at the Glass Academy was fantastic. My co-workers and I really had fun and I think I can safely say we will participate again. We’ve proudly spread the word to others in our office. I have my glass displayed in my office if you want to see if for yourself. Thank you again for the opportunity.

The glass magnet sits on my desk as a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness.

It was everything I hoped it would be. I do plan to take another class.
