"I always follow through when I take a class with Roben-Marie because I don't feel overwhelmed and I know I can mess up, and she's just plain fun." ~Peggy McDevitt

I want to approach the blank canvas with confidence!

“What makes a good teacher? For me it’s organization, details, enthusiasm and setting me up for success. Well, this class is all that and a bag of chips! Being a teacher myself I have high expectations and Roben-Marie lives up to them. Roben-Marie guides you through every step of the way in making these beautiful pieces. I loved her smiles and telling me to relax and have fun. You will not be disappointed! It was so much fun to finish my pieces and be able to hang them in my house and every time I walk by them I smile.” ~Paula Hardesty

"I found the class to very liberating working outside an art journal. I really enjoyed the process of working layer after layer and seeing the layers meld together and work into a piece that was unified yet could be deconstructed to make separate pieces of art. I really enjoyed watching Roben-Marie, and listening to her thought process as she moved through each layer. It really helped to take the "fear" away of making a mistake! The class gave me the freedom To take risks, using different supplies and focus on the moment and not be caught up in an end result." ~Lorraine George
