Paper Marbling
The class was very good. The teacher was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful and organized. We had plenty of space to work. Marbling paper can be messy. It would be worth it to sign up again, just to have a convenient space to make more prints. -

I xxxxx this For five hours while practicing making marbleized paper…, I felt as if tho I had been transported into a place of beauty… of serenity and peace. It was so amazing. -
Paper Marbling
My experience with the paper marbling class blew me away. Some of us students were new to the art and others were repeat customers who had taken the course before and wanted to hone their practice. In my opinion, the class was the correct size and duration for what we were learning, which Sheryl is clearly very passionate about. You will not find a more qualified teacher in the skill and her resume speaks for itself, yet she was also patient, instructive, and handled all our questions and slip ups gracefully. She balanced explaining the chemistry of the process with the artistry of it well; we were sent home with thorough instructions on how to do this at home, exactly what types of materials are needed, and so on. The art space itself was well-equipped to host the class; the only wrinkle was that I wish the signage and directions to the correct floor and room were slightly more detailed and clear, as the building is large. We had access to quality paints, utensils, and even some fresh paper Sheryl made for us herself! All in all, one of the best birthday presents I've ever given myself! I only wish it was a regular class each week or month instead of a one-time 6 hour commitment, as I would be keen to develop more skill with continued guidance. -
Adult: Collage Art
The instructor was knowledgeable and super friendly! I learned a lot:) -

Paper Marbling: Suminagashi
Enjoy the class. Teacher was enthusiastic to show us the technique and appropriate amount of time was given to make the artwork. -
Paper Marbling: Suminagashi
No one else showed up to this class so I was lucky enough to have a private session with the teacher. I learned a tremendous amount in 3 hours and left with what felt like an entire body of work. The teacher had great respect for the history and traditional techniques used in suminagashi and demonstrated a variety of techniques. She gave very specific advice on what materials to use at home and where to get them. Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 hours of this class and would take it again. -
Virtual Origami Workshop: Origami Snap Dragons
Very engaging- took the class with my 12 year old, and she gives 5 stars! -
Marbled Cards
The class was relaxing, meditative, and non-intimidating. Kelly, the instructor, walks through the process in a fun and interactive way making it appear 'easy'. She and everyone in the class were kind and supportive of everyone's artistic journey and expression. It was a wonderful way to spend an evening connecting with new people. I thought the time would be too long, and it turns out I could have sat there for much longer! -

EXTREMELY informative. I've taken over 3 Suminagashi marbling classes, this has to take the cake. I came away with +10 techniques to add to my Suminagashi marbling toolbox.

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Loved this class. Mustapha is a wonderful teacher. So much fun and learned a lot. The small class size gave everyone a chance to make two pieces. Was just as interesting to marble the paper as it was to watch others. I look forward to taking more classes with him in the future. -

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Mustafa was an excellent instructor. He was patient and modeled several different designs for us. By the time my friend and I got up to try it on our own I felt very confident in my abilities. I am very happy with the Ebru art I created during the class and hope to do more on my own. -
Paper Marbling
This class is a deep dive into marbling. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable. She even prepared more paper for all of us since we kept making so many marbling prints and going through the paper. You make so many prints! 100% worthwhile and fun. -
After Workshop: Color Theory
Wonderful teacher! Wonderful class! -
Large Format Marbling (Weekend Intensive)
Natalie Stopka definitely knows the craft of Marbling and relayed her knowledge easily and with clarity. We worked, but the end results of the days activities was well worth the effort Natalie put forward. Thank you Natalie. -

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Super enjoyable and such a great intro to Turkish culture and Ebru marbling. The instructor is passionate about this art and is patient with all of the participants. I highly recommend this course for both adults and children. At the end, it was such a treat to have Turkish tea and drink it while learning about book culture and the Ottoman empire, brought me back to when I visited Istanbul. -
Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Loved learning about Ebru. Mustafa is a fine instructor and I hope to attend another session at some point. -

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Extraordinarily beautiful two hour class. Mustafa slowly explained the history and tools used for the “face of water”==Turkish watermarbling as we nine participants were able to snack on great popcorn, tea, and coffee. He demonstrated the possibilities for the colors and designs creating three paintings. We then each were able to do one on our own although he would help with pulling the paper off of the water if one so desired. Definitely, a course I will return to with friends. -
Paper Marbling
So fun, some informative! I would take this class over and over. You get at least 10 prints and the instructor pays attention to your techniques and provides great feedback. So fun! -
Intro to Book Arts (One Day Class)
Natalie is an absolute wealth of knowledge and a truly wonderful teacher. Highly recommend this course! Loved all of her information on the history of book-binding while we were completing tasks - and her advice for my specific project was invaluable. Very grateful - thanks Natalie! -
Working with Paper and Paper Pulp
I expected a very craftsy class, but instead found a real art class with artists of all abilities who were given freedom and professional support to pursue individualized projects using various types of paper , in varied ways. It was challenging, involving and extremely interesting. The teacher was particularly attentive and supportive. -

Awesome course. Learned a lot. Can’t wait till I take the next one. -
Bookbinding II: Beginning Hard Cover
I was very happy with the class. There were not a lot of people, so Beth was able to get around to everybody. We made three different types of books, in two days. I am hoping to make these with my high school students, as a club activity, next year. -
After Workshop: Fabric Marbling
Natalie is a wonderful teacher and is fun and funny. I would take any class that she teaches. -
