  • Botanical Plaster Casting

    Anonymous review on 2/5/2024
    The instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable. I will take another class with them.
  • Intro to Copperplate Calligraphy

    Reviewed by Sharon L. on 4/6/2020
    Due to the Governor's Stay at Home order, Design KOUS held this workshop through FaceTime and Zoom. I may have been the only person that didn't want to reschedule the workshop, and I'm glad I didn't. Design KOUS provided me with the materials days before our remote workshop. My instructor, Aspacia, was informative on the history of copperplate and provided good instruction. We were able to go at my pace and Aspacia took the time to see my work and my progress, and to provide me with feedback. I highly recommend the workshop by Design KOUS and, if they teach other calligraphy workshops, I will take another workshop with them again in the future.
