Great selection of glass and very knowledgeable owners are very helpful in meeting all my stain glass needs. Well worth the 70 mile drive from Sierra Vista. Also, their class was outstanding in providing me the skills and confidence needed to make my own projects.

Took a beginner stain glass course. It was a very good class. The instruction was excellent. Recommend the class and loved the selection of glass.

The selection of glass here is outstanding. I do both mosaics and stained glass on a budget and I find some really amazing pieces here every time I go. The owners are very helpful and friendly and don't care if I am in there rummaging around in the bargain bins. I can promise you that you will find unique glass here you won't find anywhere on the internet for anywhere close to the price!

If you are just getting started and on a budget they have some used equipment from classes for sale to help you get started. They are closed on Mondays just so you don't make the trip on that day like I did once. Doh!

This is the most wonderful glass store I have ever been to! Such a wide selection of glass and they carry just about everything else I could need for any project. Jennifer and Andy are so helpful, patient, and kind, they are a delight to work with. Expressions is a calm, learning environment and I could not recommend it more highly for all your stained glass needs!

Expressions has excellent selection of glass from basic to Exquisite; wonderful for Tucson. American name brands, superior glass can only be found at LOCAL small businesses or else must be ordered online, sight unseen (and then you pay shipping and a boxing fee!). I go to Expressions to find glass that is beyond ordinary. Andy is always very helpful in explaining technical details to me, answering questions about glass and tools.

I live too far from Tucson to take their classes but he answers everything I ask. He takes a personal interest in the needs of his customers and remembers us! (We travel from Safford and Dragoon to shop at Expressions.) The glass business has become extremely difficult for small businesses. I personally know of shops that have closed their doors in Safford and in Phoenix because of the difficulty and expense of stocking beautiful glass. Please, please, please, support your LOCAL stained glass store.

I have had the privilege of knowing Jennifer and Andy for more than 30 years through my stained glass hobby. Jennifer is a true artist and I am always amazed at what she is able to do and how willing she is to share her techniques and experience with her students and customers. Andy is so helpful and willing to go that extra mile (like the time I got nervous about drilling into glass because I had broken so many and he took it on for me.) If you can take a class through them, I strongly recommend it. You will learn a lot and enjoy fellowship with your classmates.

Great people to work with, very fair and honest. I would highly recommend their store to everyone. Beautiful and gorgeous works of art by Jennifer. A very real gift to be able to make the creations that she has in her store! WOW. Certainly she has been creating stained glass masterpieces for a long long time.

Expressions Art Glass is my Happy Place! I take stained glass and fused glass classes there. Jennifer and Andy are very patient and knowledgeable teachers and have many different types of classes. I absolutely love making glass projects for gifts, it is so much fun and I meet many very nice people in the classes. I absolutely LOVE this place!

An amazing store, with great glass and super talented artists. Jennifer is quite the talent, and a fun person with massive knowledge, and a great sense of humor. They also have beautiful gifts. This is the best stained glass store anywhere in the Tuscson area!
