    Anonymous review on 12/2/2017
    This is a really wonderful class with good basic technique and learning of tools for beginners. Debbie has some solid technical expertise and provides attention to the student while giving them the freedom to explore their artistic interests. Highly recommend this course, especially if you are interested in working with your hands, and learning from someone who has apprenticed with a Swedish wood carving master. Make sure to take the time to work outside of the studio hours if you can to make the most of the course, Debbie has a lot to offer, so try to make the most of it.
