Teaching glassblowing classes through GBARTS has been an awesome experience. I enjoy having students come who are keen to try their hand at working with molten glass and GBARTS makes it really easy for them to sign up for a class.

Kate Civiero, Infinite Glassworks

I always enjoy teaching workshops at The Workshop. The space is absolutely beautiful and perfectly suited to creative pursuits of all kinds. The staff is wonderful, and the arts community of Owen Sound is welcoming and vibrant.

Kim Kool, Edge of Grey Encaustics

I love running coppersmithing classes at GBARTS. There is access to a wide range of tools and supplies, which makes it easy to plan and implement classes. The students who take my classes are always eager and excited to learn new skills.
