Amy was incredible! She was so personable and extremely patient during the process! I definitely struggled a bit, and she didn’t hesitate to be there right next to me when I needed her! This class far exceeded my expectation, and I look forward to doing another class with her soon!

THis class was a perfect intro class to macrame. The instructor is a high school art teacher so she definitely knows how to lead a group. There were 8 people so it was small enough that you could easily ask questions and get hands on help. The space was beautiful.

Amy was a wonderful host. The set-up was perfect for the project. She was thorough and patient at explaining each step (multiple times!). I love how my plant hanger turned out!

Amy made our macrame project clear and straightforward. It's no surprise that she's a school art teacher; she clearly has a knack for making art accessible to all.
