What impressed me the most about this course was the patience, respect, and willingness to listen. In my opinion, these qualities are even more important than the course content itself...

Completed in June 2026

The experience was really eye-opening for me, since this is a whole different type of art, and I never expected to enjoy it that much. I think our teacher's passion also rubbed off on me.
