Your place is warm and welcoming and your teaching style is wonderful. The perfect balance of instruction and assistance. I felt that I was doing it and could truly take ownership of the piece I created yet you were there every step. I’ve looked around the Charlotte area and have found nothing like what you’ve created. I wish you all the success you deserve and hope to see you again in the future.
