Class Feedback

"Just want to thank you for your fantastic instruction at the 2-Day Workshop this weekend. Your reference sheet and all the "do" and "don't" info you talked about on materials and adhesives was priceless. Your method of presentation is great, and I was thrilled to actually see different materials being used. You took away my big fear of grouting, and the consistency is (hopefully) emblazoned in my brain."    SM

"I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the advanced class. I learned more about mosaics than with any other teacher and had a lot more fun! You are so generous with your knowledge and I love your wicked sense of humor. I just know I could hang out with you and really have fun. I was serious when I said I wanted to attend any advanced classes you have in the US. I'm in, no questions asked! I'll keep checking out your web site to see what comes up for next year."    LP

"I'm back in Mexico and back to normal. I already have my first commission, which is to do a tabletop. I am actually going to get paid, can you believe it? I must confess that I'm a bit scared but I have to get started some way or other. I have so many projects whirling in my head. Thank you, Sonia for the course because you opened up a whole new world to me. The course was really terrific and that I enjoyed it and learned a lot."    AF

"Thank you so much for a terrific workshop! I came away with everything I wanted...and more. I wanted to improve my cutting and laying technique and learn to use the various tools and materials that are in all the mosaic books. You gave excellent demonstrations on technique and were so generous with your one-on-one time. I want to thank you for inspiring me. I've raised the bar for myself and I think I can work to that next level."   IP

"Sonia, now that I've had time to ponder much of the knowledge and advice you gave us, I truly feel blessed to have found your class and to have met you.  You have such a generous and giving spirit and your enthusiasm for the medium is contagious!! I have so many ideas boiling in my head. I'm furiously working on my mosaic and it is progressing really nicely. I have almost all the smalti areas completed! What a slow process! I have selected a tumbled travertine marble for the background, which is a lovely contrast to the vibrant colors of the smalti. Thanks for the suggestion!"    SZ

"I feel lucky to have pictures to remember such wonderful people and an inspiring week. I truly feel blessed to have found Sonia and the rest of the class. I can't believe how much I learned in such a short amount of time. I can't wait until next year!"    AH

"I want to come back and take your advanced mosaic class again. I was so inspired by last year's class that I can't miss this year. I hope you still have an available space."    AH

"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful class. I had such a great time and learned so much useful information. The first thing I did was buy wheeled cutters - they are great! I hope to be able to join one of the advanced classes one of these days. I even sold a few pieces at the last Artwalk! Thanks again for the wonderful class and encouragement."    KR

"Thank you for running such an informative mosaic workshop, it gave me an appreciation for the complexity and seriousness of it as an art form. I have been telling a lot of people about how successful you are with mosaics, referring them to your website and book and I will encourage them to attend your next workshop in New Zealand."    JK

"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your Advanced Mosaics Class! I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the other classmates! I highly recommend this class to anyone striving to take their skills to the 'next level'."    LW

"Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop. I had a great time and learned a lot more than I expected to. I was amazed at how many things I was doing wrong. Oh well, no time like the present to start doing it right. I will be grouting my mosaic tonight and will take a photo when I'm done. Thanks for your encouragement."    JP

"Hi Sonia - Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop over the weekend! I can't wait to start my next. I really learned a lot and got lots of good tips too."    SB
