    This is my second review of the same class. Last week there were more questions in this review format.
  • Meditative Beginners Art Journaling

    I had the most wonderful time in this class. Low commitment, high reward. Elizabeth is an amazing teacher and made the whole experience easy and positive. I was skeptical when I signed up for this class because it was virtual but I don’t think that had any negative affect! Would (and might) do again!
