Student testimonials for Basic Earring & Wire Class:

• "Thank you so much for your inspiring class. I honestly didn't think that I'd have the skills or patience to produce much of anything, so when I went home with three pairs of VERY CUTE earrings, I was thrilled! More importantly though, I left your workshop without all of the stress of the day that I had originally brought in and with a new skill. I've enjoyed showing all of my craft-y friends my new earrings, and look forward to joining you again for the next class."
• "It was easier than I thought it would be! I loved the creativity of it."
• "The instructor did a great job of providing tips and going through the steps at a comfortable pace."
• "I really liked the small class size. I received lots of individual attention & assistance."
• "I appreciated the clear communication I had with the instructor, and her samples were GREAT! I'm inspired to do future projects
