“I just wanted to thank you again for an energizing, inspiring workshop. I came across the ad by chance and it was the right thing at the right time. It’s wonderful to be breathing new life into project I abandoned so long ago, and to have discovered new ways to approach the material so it isn’t so overwhelming.” – Sara Graefe
