Irina did a great job teaching us how to make a simple clay mug. Her instructions were easy to follow and everyone’s mugs turned out looking really good! Looking forward to firing the mugs later to see the finished product. It was a really good introduction to mug making for first-timers.

Thanks Irina for leading the class and answering all our questions.

The beeswax wraps making class was great fun! The materials were really well prepared and the class was great. Thank you to Pamela for leading the class, and giving such detailed explanations on how to make the wraps as well as how to use them.

Pamela did an excellent job leading the class on the fundamentals of watercolors. She explained the importance of using high quality watercolor paper (heavy weight paper with glycerin coating to slow water absorption), how to identify a good paint brush (bristles that return to true after bending) and the difference in cost/quality of water color paints.

She also demonstrated various techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, watercolor mechanics, masking with wax, texturing with salt as well as others. Her camera set up gave us a bird eye view of her canvas, and she clearly explain what she was doing. It was very easy to follow along and practice.

Overall I’m very happy with the class and it greatly exceeded my previous experience self learning watercolor.
