    The class was well organized and very informative. The working environment was open and creative with the instructor always on hand to lend a hand if necessary. Everyone was encouraged to be individual in their work. It was a great evening with good company!

    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.

    Sheryl is awesome as always. The acrylic marbling class was so fantastic that I had to come back for more. I find suminagashi more playful and it's great to learn new techniques.
  • Paper Marbling: Suminagashi

    Instructor was very encouraging and helpful. Would highly recommend this class. The results are amazing even for a novice.
