Joseph is an absolutely wonderful human being and this class is hands down one of the BEST Dabble classes I've taken. Not only is Joseph extremely accommodating when he needed to reschedule my class, I wound up having a private session with him where I was able to get in-depth knowledge on bug species in general, as well as how to re-hydrate and pin them. Joseph is an expert in this field and this class will not disappoint. As an additional perk Joseph's studio is lovely and very cozy. I highly, highly recommend anyone to take this class, and I can't wait until I schedule my next one with him.
