How whimsical! I worried that the class was just for kids, it isn’t. It’s for kids of all ages. Gregory was very loose in his instruction allowing each student to truly create a unique piece. How refreshing! He still took time with each and every student while creating a piece of his own, working along side us. He offered various media for us to use and encouraged us to make a piece entirely our own. I’m proud of my wire piece and intend to make more.
