Brett's class was one of the coolest but also most time consuming classes I have ever taken. He's an expert in soft glass and excellent at giving instructions. He clearly wasn't a personal fan of some of my project choices but still graded me fairly based on the skills I'd developed. Just be warned that the glass department as a whole can be a messRate My Professors ↗
