"I had a great experience at your class.......thanks for the great class and all the information."

Jan Jarka - Pollock Pines, CA

"Thanks for the helpful information. The class was great, too. I'm looking forward to making my gourds so beautifully smooth and colorful."

Rose Owens - Dublin, CA

"If you ask me, I think all your classes are really great! You give a lot of information above and beyond the basics that I've been able to use for other projects...a sign of a good teacher! Not that I've done a lot of good stuff, but one day I might and I have my notes from your classes to go back to--and yes I do go back to the notes! You show and offer different ways of achieving the same end result which a person can incorporate into their own learning style which is very important. So if you ask me...people are getting good quality teaching no matter what class they take! Besides that they are just damn fun!!!"

Judy Einboden - Phelan, CA

"...thanks so much for a great class in Fallbrook. Ya know - there are a lot of teachers out there - and some people are Extremely good in their craft - and then there are just people like yourself that make a class so enjoyable - and you are a great teacher. You also made yourself Available to all of us for our different questions and little problems we may be having. And I know you worked on that tutorial - as you told us you had - and it REALLY showed. I'm telling you - I'm a decorative artist so I go to their conventions as well - and I haven't had anyone give me that well written of a tutorial in some time. You deserve a pat on the back and I just thought someone should tell you...... Your's was certainly the best one I received at Fallbrook.... Thanks again"
