    This was the perfect introduction to reading Tarot. I appreciated that Anne (instructor) took time to explain her background and encouraged everyone in attendance to share why/how they use Tarot. It was a great way to break the ice and dive into the material. The atmosphere was comfortable and conducive to learning. Anne and the gallery did an awesome job of setting the perfect environment for the whole class. After two short hours I already feel much more comfortable in my ability to read Tarot for myself and others.

    Fun introduction to tarot cards in a relaxed (but downright fascinating) little store. There is so much symbolism and interplay between all the cards in a deck and it was really interesting to get an overview of how they work together to give insight into a moment in time, and how they can be used for your personal growth. Just enough to whet your appetite - looking forward to the follow up class to learn more.

    Had such a great experience with Kira and Becky. Both ladies were wonderful teachers who took the time to really explain each step, make sure the class was finished with the step prior before moving on and who gave individual instruction to those of us that needed it. They were patient, funny and just lovely to learn from. I was so happy to leave the class not only knowing some great basics but with a usable decor item as well.

    Cynthia was a master craftswoman and her excitement about the class was contagious. Tools and materials were thoughtfully explained. She was very patient and encouraging during the broom making process, and came to the rescue when my broom needed extra attention on more than one occasion (I was the only one from the group who brought my own broomstick, a branch of twisted sycamore, and it presented its own unique set of challenges).

    Space was a little tight for eight people in the shop; the plan had been to work outside, but the weather didn't cooperate. I usually learn quickly, so I was surprised to find myself falling behind and even needing to redo a few steps... as such, I think my personal preference would have been one-on-one instruction or an even smaller group.

    My little struggles and fusses with my broom taught me a great deal, however, and I feel confident that if I were to try this again, it would be even better the next time around! It's amazingly gratifying to hold my beautiful broom in hand! I have so much respect for what Cynthia does; this is truly an impressive art form.

    Overall the class was alright. I wouldn’t particularly say I learned much, but it was something to pass the time. The teacher was very friendly and the shop is cute. Unfortunately the set up wasn’t ideal for a class environment. I felt like the class was not as structured as I would have liked. I think it would have been ideal to go through the meaning and imagery of the major arcana cards since they are so significant. I would have also liked to get a little more knowledge on general interpretation / meaning of these cards in conjunction with the minor cards.
