The instructor is very positive and open = full of ideas herself and encourages your ideas, even building upon them. She is also incredibly knowledgeable of her craft.. She began with the history of the artform and provided the inspiration. Then she taught us the skills, giving us time to document what we learned. She even taught us, one on one, how to properly hone and care for the tools - which is something that I have never experienced in any of my previous and varied classes at other studios. I very much want to register for the screen printing class that her studio offers ... sadly, I have another commitment that day :(
