She was thorough, and she knew the subject matter. She explained the material in a way that you would understand it. I am a beginner with calligraphy subject matter, and I was a little embarrassed to show my work. She made me feel comfortable, if though my work wasn't "good". She explained how it takes time to learn calligraphy, and gave an example of what happened to her when she first started. I would definitely retake this class, and also recommend it to someone. -
