Alchemy Arts Studio - Stillwater, Minnesota

I thoroughly enjoyed both classes I've taken at Alchemy Arts Studio. The first, with a large group, was entertaining, included a great overview of the fused glass process and was great hands-on fun. The second, with a smaller group working on an entirely different type of project, was also a wonderful experience and I learned a lot. Pat is so down-to-earth and knowledgeable. And Phil was a great MC for our large event.

We had 10 people come to Alchemy to do fused glass projects as part of a bachelorette party weekend. Pat did a great job of explaining how everything works and helped us along the way. We all chose different projects and had fun creating together! It was a memorable experience and the best part is we have something to remember this weekend by! Highly recommend it!

Five of us went to Alchemy Arts Studio last night for their Starter Tile class - what fun! Pat is an excellent teacher, and funny too! We had a great time and we are anxious to pick up our finished pieces. Highly recommend their classes - they have everything you can think of in glass!

What a great time! My sister and I attended the Fused Glass Tile class for something fun and new to try on a weeknight. Pat was awesome. The class started with an overview of glass fusion, all the different things you can make using glass fusion, and general directions on how to create our tiles. After that, Pat let our imagination take the drivers seat, but was always available for questions and suggestions. I'll definitely be back to try one of her other classes!

I had a WONDERFUL time at Alchemy Arts Studio with the Starter Class. I've never worked with glass before and was looking for something new and artistic to explore. I have a disability and need a rather forgiving art-form and peaceful, easy environment. Alchemy Arts is above and beyond, not just for me but I'd say just about anyone. Tea or coffee, a great blend of smooth tempo music in the background, and friendly company classmates made this just the experience I've hoped for and needed to reconnect to a peaceful place and artful-expression.

Pat provided an introduction to the basic science of how glass works and comes together with our projects and some advanced techniques and a view of the kiln where our projects would eventuallyland. The studio is full of designs from suncatchers and jewelry to vases and bowls as well as supplies for glass artists. During the glass a couple people from other classes came in excited to pick-up their pieces fresh from the kiln, and it was interesting to see other projects from Pat's other classes. I knew barely half-way into the class that I'd be thrilled to attend another, and bring my friends and my mom and some family coming into town.

In addition, being in a wheelchair the studio was completely accessible and Pat was access-knowledgeable, aware, welcoming, and friendly. She was there to assist me in all ways I needed, including helping with tools and creative adaptability. I can't thank her enough for making her studio, teaching, and fun flair so inclusively fun.

Huge thanks!

What a fun Christmas present from my husband! The studio is so nice & we special treat with Pat's husband dressed to the nine's in a tux conducting the team games. My husband & I had never done fused glass before, but Pat made the experience a fun one with plenty of materials & encouragement. We are thrilled with out projects!

Pat did a great job of explaining fused glass and how to use all of the tools. I am not an artsy person at all but she was wonderful in helping me create my project. I definitely want to go back and create another masterpiece, this time with more layers of glass now that I know what I'm doing. It was a very fun evening with friends learning something new and I would highly recommend Alchemy Arts Studio!

My daughter and I were in Stillwater for a mother/daughter weekend and enjoyed a wonderful class at Alchemy Arts. We had never done any glass work before, but Pat made it simple. It was educational, fun, creative and memorable! Thanks Alchemy Arts!
