My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary in a more creative and hands on way this year. We have always had an interest in working with stained glass and other creative mediums so he booked for a class with Ocean Stained Glass. The location is easy to find and the studio itself is so welcoming and colorful. Neither of us had done this before so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. The instruction provided were easy to understand because she has set out all the things you need in essentially what is a station. You pick a design, your pieces of glass, and then get to work. With each step, she was so positive and supportive, especially when I was slow and my husband was steps ahead. In the end, we made a rainbow feather and a turtle! We would absolutely do this again and again! Thank you!

Came here today with my partner to take the beginner stained glass class. We chose our design from a set of 6 options and we both decided on the mushroom. I am so happy we did this because not only was it informative and fun but I came away with something I genuinely love. Each step of the way we were supported and given opportunities to make creative decisions. The owner and teacher was friendly, gave good feedback, and let us ask her a million questions. I would recommend this to anyone who has wanted to learn stained glass. The price is really really good and all the materials are included. I never felt rushed and again I am so pleased with our sun catchers. Definitely want to come back and do the advanced class

This place a great! The class was so much fun! Called in the day before for a class the next day and Val, the owner, was nice enough to fit us in (I wouldn’t recommend calling the day before, we lucked out). The beginner stained glass class was scheduled for 3 hours and we lasted exactly that. The class was small, it was just my girlfriend and I for ours. Val never rushed us and let work at our own pace while being attentive and very helpful. There were lots of steps but she explained everything so well and it made it simple.I believe she sells stained glass supplies too, my girlfriend took home a piece on the wall that one of Val’s students had made.I highly recommend taking a class here

Took the introduction to stained glass class and am already recommending it to everyone! Valerie is so lovely and knowledgable. I gifted the experience as an anniversary gift and we each got to make our own stained glass pendant from start to finish and learned each step along the way. We weren't rushed at all, finished up in about 3.5 hours. The class was just us two so we got a lot of hands on help. I would sooo recommend it! Makes such a lovely gift too.

I had a window repair that I needed to get fixed ASAP. It was in the front of my house. Val had me email pictures and called back with a quote. She sent a repairman and it was fixed quickly. Great Job I would definitely recommend. Bad experience with Stained Glass Castle.

What a gem of a place! My sister and I took a class. They are all semi private and the owner is a great teacher and you get lots of attention and are not rushed to finish your project. Besides classes they make special order pieces and also do repairs. So fun and relaxing. Highly recommend

After a very bad experience trying to get an estimate from the Stained Glass Castle, I found Val at Ocean Stained Glass in Seal Beach. She was friendly, polite and professional. She repaired two windows with broken pannels for me. The work was well done and the price was reasonable.

Excellent customer service. Very helpful. I needed to match some glass and Val found it. The glass here is far more elegant or classy than hobby lobby. If you are spending the time and effort to make something special then it is worth a few cents more to have it look right. Her prices for glass/lead are very good compared to larger glass shops.

I tried to go into the store during the posted business hours but no one was there. So I called another day and spoke to the owner about when a good time to go in would be and I let her know I would go in Tuesday morning. So I showed up Tuesday and the lights were off and the door was locked. After calling the store and waiting outside for an hour and a half, I left. I was disappointed because I really wanted to support a local glass business instead of Hobby Lobby but whenever I try to go it's closed. I don't think they should post any business hours if they are not actually open during that time. It should instead say "by appointment only", but be careful because even if you agree on a time and day it might still be closed.

We took both the mosaic and stained glass class. Val was wonderful. She keeps the classes small (only the two of us for ours) and gave us undivided attention. She was friendly and personable. She even cleaned up after us while we were working so we could focus on our projects. Highly recommend if you want something fun to do. Or, if you have ever wanted to try stained glass this is a great way to try it out.

This place is a gem! Took a stained glass class with Valerie and it was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and friendly. My family had so much fun that the 3 hours flew by. Will definitely be back!

I wanted to show up and give this store a good review since I was here 6 months ago and loved it. The owner is nice and accommodating. But when I'm told on the phone before I arrive to bring a mask (what I would hope!) and I arrive and there is 5 people not wearing masks inside, why wouldn't I take my business elsewhere? I'm not sure what the rules are. I see photos of people wearing masks but maybe the rules just became lax from complacency. Don't hope to shop safely and responsibly if there are people there who don't care.
