    I had the most wonderful time in this class. Low commitment, high reward. Elizabeth is an amazing teacher and made the whole experience easy and positive. I was skeptical when I signed up for this class because it was virtual but I don’t think that had any negative affect! Would (and might) do again!

    Anonymous review on 5/30/2018
    Michelle was a fantastic teacher. She was what made the class. There was lots of personal hands on help as the enrollment was pretty low. I also must say I enjoyed the extra space in the room due to the low enrollment but I am sure that will all change as word of the school gets out there.
