Twisted Glass

One of the best shops in the Fort Worth area, they support American artists from all over. Now, its a great new spot for artists and folks interested in learning about this craft! They are offering the opportunity for more people to engage in this up and coming industry, by opening up a glass studio! Can't wait to get started!!

Found this amazing studio a month before heading to Fort Worth over Christmas vacation. Not only do I own my own custom stained glass business but I just have a pure love of glass in general. I have been wanting to step into torch work and could not have found a better studio for lessons, information and a chance to be taught by another artist who just loves and appreciates glass like I do. First off, the studio is large, airy, organized and a pleasure to be in. The choices of glass to work with, along with tools was awesome. London is a fantastic instructor, from explanation of equipment to saftey break down to instruction while working our glass he was direct, educational and just down right enjoyable to be with. He has no issues being upfront that he can help hands on so you still do the work but feel how he does the movements and techniques or he will stand back and just voice aid. Both my husband and I understood what he spoke to and were able to fit in more time making things than we thought would happen. If I lived in this area I no doubt would be a regular in this studio. From professional and high quality tools and equipment, to gorgeous glass you couldn't ask for more. But what really sets the studio apart from others I've experienced is London and his pure love and experience for torch work and glass. Not many studios can provide small quality lessons with a instructor. You're not paying for a cold classroom, tons of people everywhere and getting lost in the instruction. At Twisted Smoke you get a gorgeous space, great equipment, and someone who cares about what they are teaching. London has the ease and pure heart for anyone interested in torch work. My husband and I will definitely find ourselves back in the studio on our next family visit. This visit cemented myself wanting to bring torch work into my own shop so it's time to buy some pricey equipment :).
