"I've completed 2 online classes with Susan and am signed up for 2 more. I am learning so much! She is generous with her vast knowledge and a really good teacher. If I have questions between classes she is quick to respond and usually adds a link to some new resource I didn't know about. Highly recommend!"
~Nancy B."I would definitely recommend an online class as it’s the next best thing to being at Workroom Tech. Susan is an excellent teacher and very thorough. Very happy with Susan’s technique and how my shade turned out".
