  • 5/5 from Monique Kneepkens, attended Jan 2025: Absolutely loved the class, such a great way to spend Sunday morning. Sarah was a lovely teacher, calm, clear and friendly, there when you need her but otherwise gives you space to just create. I didn't finish my piece by the time the class ended, but Sarah was so generous with her time and encouraged me to keep going so I could finish. I'm stoked with my finished earrings and so grateful for the beautiful morning (and the extra time). I highly recommend this class.
