More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The studio door opens onto a shaded yard in Mount Dora; sunlight skitters across clipped grass and the scent of lake air drifts in from nearby Lake Dora. Inside, glass tiles and shards are organized by color like a practical artist’s language — blues, ambers, greens — waiting for a hand to translate them into pattern and form.

Arrive 10 minutes early
Parking space is limited on Laura Lane; arriving early gives you time to find the studio signs and settle in.
Wear comfortable, older clothes
Grout and glass dust can mark fabrics — wear something you won’t mind getting a little messy.
Hydrate before class
Florida humidity can feel heavy indoors — bring a water bottle or drink before the session to stay comfortable.
Plan for finishing time
Most pieces are finished in the session, but delicate details or drying grout may require gentle handling for 24–48 hours afterward.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated in warm, humid conditions and during focused work sessions.
