Calin D.Reviewed on 02/26/14The location was a bit difficult to teach in and the lights were a bit low, though the atmosphere for the topic was appropriate so no serious complaints overall.

My girlfriend and I took this class last night and had a great time! Celtic Calligraphy is hard! But we are happy to start it as a hobby and practice, practice, practice. Thanks Meg!
