“Without your guidance and hands on instructions, we would never have learned the "nitty gritty" of the business. Loading kilns, dipping, firing. Helping us pick bisque, paint, brushes etc. Thanks again Connie, this last year could not have be so good without your on hands training with both pottery and glass fusing.” Dan & Theresa Barion
“The entire workshop was presented in a direct but fun and interesting approach - never a boring moment - full of extremely useful information and well worth the money” Candice Minnich - South Carolina
“I just wanted to thank you. You really are amazing with this wonderful personality - you don’t find many people like that these days - You gave me so much confidence. Amazing class - very informative. I am someone who thought I knew it all, I was wrong! From kilns to paint brushes and from parties to workshops, everything was covered. Loved it” Rebecca Barris - New York
“You need this class - you will learn what you don’t know - and that is invaluable. A must before deciding to add glass to your shop and a must if you have already added glass fusing. First things first - take the class!” Wendy Hess - Colorado
“The class is worth every penny. The small class size is perfect. Connie’s humor keeps the class even more interesting. The glass partners perfectly with the pottery.” Jo Ann Smith - Oklahoma
“I want to thank you for all the time you spent with me during my trip to Texas. Initially I had thought that I'd just do some training via telephone, but at the last minute decided to go ahead and make the trip. It absolutely made all the difference in the world. After even just a few hours I knew I had made the right decision by coming and realized how much I would have missed had I not. Being able to see everything first hand and have it explained in such detail has made a huge difference in my confidence and abilities to handle the job of being a new PYOP studio owner and operator. Your knowledge and experience has been an incredibly invaluable resource to me. Thank you for everything.” Trish Smith - Maryland
“So when it came down to figuring out how I was gonna learn enough about glass fusing to be able to teach it, I researched a lot. After figuring out my options I decided to do a 3 day training workshop with Connie. My mom and I were so excited to spend 3 days learning about glass fusing and our experience with Connie was above and beyond. We learned so much and got to make so many fun projects. I left there confident that I had the knowledge needed to go back to my studio and make glass fusing successful! Connie was a great teacher and I'm grateful for it all! I cannot stress enough that learning glass fusing with Connie was THE BEST!” Dara Jones - Arizona
“I was starting to have my doubts about whether the course would be able to teach me anything new, since I pride myself on being a pretty prepared individual and had taken to reading everything possible on the topic of opening a business, painting pottery, ceramics, clay, etc. Boy was I wrong! Not one minute of class time was wasted, and the amount of information packed into those three days was absolutely astounding. Nothing can take the place of the hands on learning, the resources Connie has put together, and the friendships made over the course of three days spent learning alongside like-minded people.” Tasha Hale - Washington
For one on one custom private training - “I came into this idea with a little knowledge of the craft, but not nearly enough to actually start and run the business. I contacted Connie Speer for a training session. After taking the time to talk with me and learn about my needs and wants for the business, Connie designed a personalized one-on-one 4 day training for me. That was the best decision I made and best money spent regarding the start-up of my business. We spent four intense training days together fusing glass, painting and dipping ceramics, creating samples for the studio, all the while learning every aspect of actually setting up the studio and running the business. Connie was an amazing wealth of information, and my only concern was that I was going to retain it all! She clearly knew the business inside and out, and anyone considering using her consulting services should truly take advantage of the opportunity she offers. Connie and the American staff were welcoming and a pleasure to be around, and made the training experience so much richer. I cannot thank them or recommend them all enough!” Rachel Blaney - California
