From the moment you walk into Sarah’s beautiful studio, the vibe is very relaxed and inviting. She is an amazing teacher and has all the patience to help you create something beautiful during the class. Her share platters are awesome, and her hospitality is outstanding. I would definitely do more classes here.

What a beautiful time we all had on Saturday with Sarah. She made us all feel so welcome in her creative and inspiring space and is an unbelievably generous and nurturing teacher! With gentle encouragement, she helped us all to feel creative and accomplished throughout the afternoon. I cannot recommend this class highly enough, especially if your hands are tired of engaging with a screen and need to be set free for a while. Thank you Sarah!
