Rochester Arc & Flame Center Review

We did the 3 hour glass blowing class and it was fantastic at a minimum! We had Joe and Josh as the 2 instructors (coaches more like) and they really got you involved. Can't wait to pick up the items we made to see the final results. Cannot recommend this highly enough, great education and now I'm a 'junior' glass blower! This is the second class I have taken from them and it is worth every $$ you pay for it. Tons of real hands on work, and you get to make your very own masterpiece.

It was a wonderful experience!! Can't say enough good things about this place. If your looking for something outside of the norm to do, this is it!!!!

One great place to expand your horizons. There are so many excellent classes and instructors. The learning atmosphere and equipment is top notch. the prices are good and you get the best in the area. They have a nice gallery to show off some of past students work, plus a beautiful lab for glass working, one for blacksmithing, and one for MIG and TIG welding. I have taken all but 2 of the classes. Well worth the time to learn something new. It might be a little tricky to find the first time. It is attached to the rear of the Mahany Welding building.

Very friendly staff. The artwork there for sale and in the process of being made was absolutely stunning. If they could teach people to create masterpieces like that, everyone should be learning to weld from here.

The welding sections were clean, private, and spacious. Air flow was good. You could tell the students really enjoyed what they were doing and it was very professional. Check out the tour of their place to get a better idea of what it looks like!

I've taken three metalsmith jewelry classes here so far. I love it! It's great to start out the class knowing nothing at all and leaving with something you made. The website is convenient to use and there are so many classes, many of them beginner. The instructors are great, patient and make sure you are enjoying your time. I look forward to taking more classes and seeing what else I can get into!

The MIG class I took was great. I have no experience and within a few hours I felt very comfortable. Our instructor Scott was very helpful and took something intimidating and made it enjoyable. Can't wait until I sign up for the next class.

I took the Glassblowing class. Joe and Ryan were excellent teachers. Patience and encouragement during this class helped make the experience very enjoyable. One to one instruction as you work on your project with helpful critques as you work.. We accomplished 2 projects as well as learning the techniques of working with glass. My daughter and I are looking forward to taking another class

Our glassblowing class was exceptional. The three hours flee by and Joe and Josh were great teachers. I can't wait to sign up for another class.

Took the weekend 8 hour TIG class and had so much fun! I would highly recommend going here for any of the awesome classes they have available. Looking forward to taking another class.
