I am very pleased to write a character reference letter for Deenie Pacik Giuliano. I have had the pleasure of knowing Deenie for about 12 years. She has been a best friend of mine since we sang alto next to each other in a local women’s chorus when she moved to Rhode Island from Boston.
I hired her for her first workshop teaching drawing, and since have been involved in hiring her for collage workshops, as well as a fused glass pendant workshop. I am familiar with other librarians and groups that have hired her to teach fused glass pendant workshops. She has also taught many classes to other groups out of her studio. She has a good reputation as an engaging teacher who maintains professionalism.
Deenie and I have kids who are close in age, and they play together, so I have seen Deenie in almost every possible scenario. Deenie has excellent communication skills and is a good Mom.
I highly recommend Deenie...
Wishing you all the best!
Sincerely,
Andrea Hutnak

Deenie Pacik works in a medium (glass) that requires incredible dexterity, compositional sense and understanding of color and light. Deenie is a master of all aspects of this art as well as a brilliant graphic artist. What really sets her apart, however, is her personal commitment, discipline and passion for her art. She brings empathy, love and a socially conscious sense to her artwork without equivocation.

"Deenie's artwork is beautiful and reflects a special eye. She is a pleasure to work with. I am an interior designer and find her to be a a great resource for clients looking for something special and one-of-a-kind." - Lisey Good, Good Interiors
To Whom It May Concern,
Deenie Pacik taught an introductory glass fusing and slumping class that I took at Diablo Glass & Metal in the fall of 2005. I had no prior experience working with glass in any capacity, and found Deenie to be a capable and encouraging teacher. She noticed when I was struggling to cut glass on a curve and showed me easier ways to do it, offered me helpful tips and suggestions for achieving the results I wanted, and seemed to take as much delight as I did in the results of my work.
I am planning to take an advanced class in the near future and hope Deenie will be my instructor again. I feel that I’ve gained a good grounding in working with glass as a medium because of her instruction; I recommend her highly and without reservation as a teacher.
