"This was a new way of working for me, and hearing Syd talk about how she takes available information and translates it into her work process was exciting."

"The freedom to work intuitively and spontaneously...pushing my comfort zone in clay sculpture...working from the concept of a personal map and abstracting those concepts into 3D sculpture..."

"Tim simplified so many processes."
"I was delighted to learn a bit about metal chasing and was thrilled that Tim was able to give me some guidance about how to continue with that work at home."
