Do any of these descriptions sound like you?

A. You want to make something, but never thought of yourself as “creative” so you don’t even try.

B. You love to create but feel bored with it because you keep making the same things.

C. Making is only fun for you if you get to do it with others but there are no workshops near you.

D. You’re a little bit of everything above – or maybe you’re NONE of the above!!!

Here’s what some of our students are saying:

I recently purchased your class on the lemons in a bowl and I loved everything about it. The video was so good and thorough. The written instructions were very detailed and easy to follow.

– Debra H.

I think your Lemons in Bowl course is super great, because it is really suitable for everyone. The individual steps are fun and are also explained great (because of my lack of English skills you even have photos) so nothing can happen. And from a simple board to this final result, the creative experience is just mega!
