Class Testimonials
|
Gwen's classes are so well planned. Her class projects are structured to maximize the the time in class as she incorporates multiple techniques, the proper use of tools, and detailed product information. I always have fun in her classes and leave with a wealth of information. She is a great person and extremely talented artist. |
Gwen's style and flair for the exotic always makes for an exciting class... a fusion of Bohemian & Asian with a gilded finale, her art is filled with echos of her travels. Gwen is happy to share her tips, tricks and techniques with all her students. You will leave class inspired! |
