Dear Two Lasses Glass Classes Customer:

Spring is now officially upon us and with it, the desire to take stock of what we have in abundance, give thanks, and "clean house" so to speak. This translates into some great savings opportunities for YOU, our wonderful customers and students!!

We continue working hard to improve our ebay store and our wacky website while maintaining the exceptional customer service and superior instructional programs that have made us so popular.

Rest assured we will continue our efforts to provide the very BEST products at the very BEST prices with the very BEST customer service!
