    Anonymous review on 3/15/2019
    Informative class. Well attended. Would have preferred to not have spent time on the "break the ice" opening segment which took up an hour and a half of valuable (and resulted in a piece of art that was less than good on my part), but the teacher, Rachel was very well informed and very helpful. Sending out a timeframe/class outline ahead of time in the future would be most helpful, since this was a day long class.
