The most fabulous Bullseye Glass instructor, Nathan Sandberg recently taught a kiln casting class called “The Surface”, at Brazee Street Studio’s School of Glass and when I say the pictures of what his students created I had to further investigate this venue. Brazee Street Studios is located in Cincinnati, OH. They are a Bullseye Resource Center and look like a really good time. It’s a full service glass facility for kiln forming and glass bead making. They also sell supplies, of course since they are a resource center, and they provide supervised studio time too. Looks like a really good time. Check out their class schedule. Check out their gallery. Check out their studios. Cincinnati is a lucky place to have such a cool space!
