Kittrell Riffkind Art Glass Gallery — Attraction in Farmers Branch

I am brand new to stained glass and I stopped in this store to look at some glass sheets and left with so much great information and feeling encouraged! There were two women who helped me with every question, had me practice some glass cutting, and gave tips and corrections in a kind and encouraging manner! They even helped me pick out a new used cutter, which has changed everything for me.
