Something different, and definitely worth doing!
We took the introduction class which seemed a little expensive at the time, but after taking was more than worth it. In that class you work one solid piece, and two blown pieces. Our instructor Mike was very pleasant to work with and a very good teacher. Everyone there is very nice including the rooster that strolls around the shop. It takes a little time to get used to the process of gathering, blowing, and rolling, but they are very patient allowing you to get pretty hands on.
I would definitely recommend...just be sure to wear something light as you will be in front of a pretty hot furnace for a while.
