Testimonials
Truly enjoy learning!
I have truly enjoyed learning about Inktense pencils.
It’s fun, relaxing and everyone is very encouraging.
I love the things I’ve made and look forward to making more.

Glad I Joined!
I am really glad that I joined. I am learning things about nature that I did not know and I become more fascinated every day. The pace of the fabric art/ inktense class is perfect for a newbie and I am fascinated by the range of colors I can get on fabric with one pencil. It is a real JOY to get together and create and learn with Laura's class.

FRIENDLY, NON STRESSFUL!
You made everyone feel comfortable/accepting with their skills (or lack of perceived talent!) in a friendly, non stressful environment. The examples were awesome!

Laura, Thank you very much for instructing our SAIL class about native plants, butterflies and our wetlands. We then learned to paint nature on fabric adding embellishment with embroidery
