If you’re fortunate enough to take a class with Tammy, you’ll be forever thankful. She is extraordinary. Please seek out her website (tlddesigns.com) to stir your creative soul. You will find yourself wanting to sign up for tons of artful adventures at one of her two locations. I know I will be spending as much time there as my piggy bank will permit. ~ Tina R.

I loved the class! Tammy was knowledgeable, prepared, informative and personable and very pleasant to work with. I left the class quite confident that I could make soap on my own competently.
