“My ten-year-old son and I have had two wonderful experiences at Craftsman Ave! I decided to bring him to the stained glass workshop for his birthday last December and, more recently, we attended the custom copper lamp workshop. He absolutely LOVED them! I highly recommend taking these classes with your family; it was a wonderful bonding experience!”
