What students are saying:
"I’m very appreciative that you are still offering classes. Every class I’ve taken with you has been wonderful! In this enameling class I definitely learned what I needed in order to do this at home and Barbara was an excellent instructor. The new studio layout is great and I’m so impressed with all of the tools you have to offer for student use. Thank you!" -Jill 1/23
