“I really enjoyed the workshop and as mentioned before you are a terrific instructor. Thank you for making it such an enjoyable 3 days and for your help sinking the hinges and putting the screws in ;). Your enthusiasm for your craft is immeasurable and infectious.”

“3 fantastic days - AND you walk away with a pair of absolutely unique eyeglasses that you've made yourself.

Sara is wonderful - knowledgeable, dynamic, and living her passion and sharing it wholeheartedly. The workshop is intimate (only 3 of a potential 4 in ours), so lots of one-on-one attention as you create your eyewear, from initial design concepts and prototyping, to handcrafting your frame and temples from a kaleidoscope of colourful cellulose acetates. By the end you've made both new eyeglasses and new friends. And as far as I know this is the only workshop in Canada - maybe North America - offering this amazing opportunity. Whether you're in the optical profession or just fancy making yourself bespoke spectacles to set yourself apart from the crowd, you will find this a fun and fascinating experience.”

“Working with Sara, was by far, one of the top experiences of my career as an Optician. Sara has perfectly created a frame making workshop that is not only completely enjoyable but instrumentally informative. I would recommend this workshop to absolutely everyone with a passion for eyewear. The space is intimate, safe and full of positive energy. The knowledge gained by this experience has the potential to drive your career in directions you may not think possible. And Sara herself, just an absolutely fantastic individual. Considerate, informative, kind and an absolute pleasure to work with and learn from. Her work can inspire you, as it has inspired me. I am thankful to have had this opportunity but even more thankful for the relationships I have made as a result. It is rare to meet true artists of their work, but in this case, Gastown has one of my favs!”

“Thank you so much for everything Sara! The workshop was amazing and super informative without being super overwhelming. I look forward to making more frames and sharing them with you!”

Andrew • Toronto, ON

“I just want to thank you for your transparency on how a bespoke frame is actually made. I can not look at a frame the same way anymore. You have given me a new skill set that I just want to go and make glasses non-stop. I could really sit in your workshop endlessly and make frames. My eyes have definitely been opened and my mind races with endless designs. Thank you so much again.”
