"I have to say, my class with you in Traverse City Michigan last year was incredible. I learned so much from you and have incorporated your techniques into my own style. You opened up another world for me and I thank you for being so sharing. I know there is a huge discussion regarding "copying" but you encouraged your students to explore different avenues artistically while providing the techniques to do so. To take these technques and reformat them in our own brains is so freeing.. A true sign of a teacher and artist who is not bound by any rules....You are the best! Thank you...you are refreshing!" -Jan "I took your class at Sandy's in Omaha and I learned quite a bit from you. one of the things you said is that the only thing you can really call your own are your accidents or something like that. You sort of freed me of this concept of having to accomplish a certain something when all I needed to do was discover the glass and what it could do if I let myself go with it. You are an awesome teacher and I hope everyone gets a chance to learn from you in person........thanks again " - Deb "Hi Jen – Thanks again for the wonderful class at Sharon Art Center – I am so surprised that I took such good notes – when I was rereading them hoping to get back to my torch, I could almost still see you making the beads. You are really a great teacher and also generous with the techniques that you share. What fun I had!....................the class made me fall in love with soft glass again. Thanks for that too! Cheers," -Sally "Hey Jen! Just wanted to thank you for an amazing class this weekend. I learned so much and my head is full of ideas! As I told you before, I think your beads have so much soul and there is so much of you in your work. I'm off to blow some shards and play with enamels. Thanks again!" - Mary |
