If you have already taken the class you can come back fora refresher class for free, you just have to buy the wooden earring bases or clay and there has to be room in the class. Sign up for classes on Eventbrite once schedule is established and reserve your spot by email for refresher classes to me at lolefson@verizon.net
Our glasses are unorthodox...
What makes them unique is that they have color, unusual shapes and are all finished without of the ordinary details like tamise, wood veneer, polymer clay and metal flowers.
Tamisé, is a technique of metal gilding using pieces of metal instead of whole sheets. Think giant glitter. And if you scratch them you can send them back to to me and I will fix them (it's in our guarantee).
And our floral readers are bloomin' with metal and vintage flowers
Our wooden veneer readers are great for both men and women.
They have a little bit of detail that makes a big difference. Try them and you will see!.
And our reader strengths go from +1.0 to +3.0 (3.5 is available, just let us know.)

Handmades & One of a Kind
Our handmade frames are truly handmade and one of a kind, cut from 4mm thick sheets of Mazzuchelli zyl. (That's the finest eyeglass material in the world.) I have my optician cut sunglass lenses in them, in case you are fortunate enough not to need a prescription. You can have any lens fitted into my handmades—your prescription sunglass or clear lens. I print on the zyl and ink it to make the patterns you see. Or on some, I add hanging pearls. They are special and you won't find anyone else making artisanal hand polished frames. The material (zyl) is an industrial material that you cannot buy, as are the machines used to make them. I am lucky to have connected with the people at Mazzuchelli and instead of industrial machines I make them by hand with classic artisanal tools.
Each one of our handmades and "everything" readers are different—no two are the same. Our handmade glasses are made from scratch, cut out of sheets of zyl which are heated, bent, printed, fused, sanded and polished to make a beautiful pair of glasses.

Artful Readers
Our readers are optical quality—and oh, so much fun. You can put your prescription in almost any one of them and conversely, I make readers out of prescription frames. I can make you transition readers or sun readers, all in a better reader than you can find in any over the counter readers. Treat yourself to one of our cool readers—you won't be sorry.
