Reviews
Happy to have my 10 and 12 yo daughters learn from the experienced artist / instructor (40 years!!!), who is no less very good with children. At first they were not excited to hear that the workshop would last about 3 hours, but they got so absorbed that they didn't notice the time fly by. Very happy with the results as well. A worth while experience!
