Student Testimonials

Eleonor Mendelson

Taking a glass fusion class has been on my bucket list for a long time, so I was so excited to finally do it. I’ve been following Randie's work for several years through her Open Studio presentations, and when she announced she was offering classes, I seized up the opportunity.

I’ve always loved glass art, but without the space for a kiln at home, I knew this wasn’t something I could realistically pursue on my own. Learning directly from an established artist made the experience a blessing. Randie created such a welcoming and supportive environment, and she explained the process in a way that felt approachable, even for a beginner like me. I enjoyed the hands-on aspect, and I’m so happy with the piece I created- it turned out great!"

I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who’s curious about glass art or just wants to try something creative and different. I’m already looking forward to taking another class.

I enjoyed a fun, creative and colorful time with Randi in her studio. She is knowledgeable, supportive and helpful in the creative process with glass. I made a great piece that I love. 

Jackie Carr-Hall

I love everything about glass.

I am not an artist, and I have no talent whatsoever. I have taken two of Randie’s classes and have ended up with two beautiful works of art. 

I have met some really talented and fun people in the class and I’m ready to take my third class.

I have taken two of Randi's fused glass classes and plan to take more in the near future. Her classes were designed to spark creativity. I enjoyed exploring design ideas and materials. I appreciated the small class size and the personal attention Randi was able to give each student as we worked on our fused glass pieces in her studio. She has two rules that guide the spirit for the classes: 1) Don't Worry, and 2) Have Fun.  I loved going home with a cool piece of fused glass art of my own design.——Brenda

From a 71 year old who had always thought of myself as a “non artist”, I can now say that I’m a “glass artist”!  It was invigorating and grabbed me in ways that I can’t wait to explore!  Thank you, Randie

I was honestly blown away by how detailed and organized Randie’s Fused Glass class was. She made something that felt complicated totally doable, while still giving us the freedom and encouragement to create something that felt like our own. Super Rad experience!
