What students say...
"...overdelivered, went above and beyond with every element of the workshop. From the communication to our individual set ups, professional upholstery tools and supplies to her classroom style of hands on teaching and techniques. PRICELESS!
There was chocolate, bubbles, cheesy pizza, jokes, celebrations, laughter, lots of refreshing and colorful conversations with artful colorful personal victories. New friends reigniting their creative powers . It’s an exhausting, labor intensive, physical (sometimes painful !) trade and absolutely loved every single minute. Creating this piece and completing it is a priceless confidence building experience…"
