    Great class! Learned quite a bit! I hadn't taken an art class in 20+yrs! This was fun! The instructor was great and didn't hover!

    Great Thursday night out with the girls. Laura was really fun and attentive, gave great instruction, especially on shading techniques (which I really needed!) We got to see a fair bit of art and the pace of the class was perfect. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a cheeky night out - pun definitely intended there.

    This was the perfect snowy day in Chicago with friends. Brunch across the street at Acanto with half off bottles of wine. Then over to the Art Museum for a fun afternoon of drawing and art. Laura, is super talented, interesting, and a great Teacher. Very good instruction and help. Stay after and enjoy the museum for the rest of your day!

    I had so much fun, definitely want to come back for part two. I've been drawing nothing but butts since our class!

    My husband and I had a great time at this class! The drinks were great, the food was great, the terrariums turned out great - and hey - even the people were pretty great. And this from an anti-social humbug. Would highly recommend!

    This class was very enjoyable and was very well run. There was a huge selection of materials to create just the terrarium you wanted and everyone had great results. I came to the class with a lady on our first date and it was a great activity for us to begin to get to know each other.
