She has a FABULOUS workshop space/studio that you can visit (by appointment) (this was a stop on Molly's FABULOUS Art Tours!!!)
Her space is 2 floors of workshop and gallery include many locals working on several large commissioned projects and the top floor is mostly a gallery of Sylvia's works, which showcase her incredible talent with the medium. She is one of few masters of the grisaille technique, which is using metal powder to draw and paint on the glass to achieve incredible levels of definition (used to delineate faces, bodies, and more). The powder is subsequently fused to the glass at very high temperatures and worked and reworked several times.
The Laks' (Sylvia and husband Enrique, from Peru) also operate a social enterprise called Artisan, which employs local single mothers to make smaller items which they distribute for sale to souvenir stores in Costa Rica. (per Molly)

LOCATION: Heredia (San Rafael)
BUS DIRECTIONS (per Molly): It is possible to do by bus and taxi combination: take the bus to Heredia and change for the San Rafael de Heredia bus which is the prettiest colored bus I've seen so far. Get off at the San Rafael de Heredia church and take a taxi up the mountain to their studio (you'll receive directions after you've made a reservation).
