"I recently attended Laura’s lampshade making workshop and I absolutely loved it! Laura was a great teacher, giving  clear demonstrations and explanations and supporting us when we needed it. The time went so quickly and I always feel that is a great indicator of when you are really enjoying something.  I am so happy with my lamp and already have plans for more, including some requests from family.  Thank you again, Laura!"
