“Stephanie was a great teacher -- very patient and friendly, giving clear instructions and helping without hovering. I learned about Korean folk art and was able to take home a beautiful painting. Such a unique and delightful experience!”
“Thank you for the wonderful workshop Stephanie! We really enjoyed learning about the history of Minhwa before diving into the painting portion. Your step-by-step guidance and watercolor tips were helpful and made the experience both educational and enjoyable for everyone. And thanks again for quickly you sening the replacement kit for my colleague!”
“Our instructor was very responsive, and very accommodating. We scheduled about a week in advance, and she was very helpful in confirming and making sure we got our kits in time. We had a couple of hiccups, where some didn't have their paints and some didn't have the kit (due to USPS delays), but she did her best to give us a great lesson. We would definitely recommend this class, as it was something new and relaxing as well. Thank you!”
“The lesson was fun and very relaxing. Stephanie was very responsive to our many questions.”
