Classes at Rocio Studios
Our studio has 8 torches on the bead table all fitted
with creation stations. There is also a glass blowing
table with two more larger torches for boro tube
working. We keep adding more things to the studio
to make it as fun and care-free as we can.
Every class held at Rocio Studios includes lunch (subs or pizza). There is always a water cooler
filled with fresh spring water along with a chest of ice filled with nice cool bottled water and
sodas (A nice thing to have in the warm summer days in Florida). Each class fee includes all
materials, food and refreshments, so you don't need to bring anything but your protective
eyewear. But, if you forget that... we have extras waiting for you as well.
We work hard at providing everything you need so you can forget about everything and focus
on having fun and learning new techniques. If you would like to see an artist that is not
scheduled yet, please send me an e-mail at; Rocio@FineArtbyRocio.com Thanks!
