You can tell that Laura really loves what she does. She has a great eye for details and does everything she can to ensure you leave a workshop with a project that you love. Her instructions and demonstrations are on how to use the paints, stains, stencils etc. to make projects are clear and she provides demonstrations on proper techniques. I like the informal, work at your own pace approach. It makes for a great girls night out as the setup allows for time to chat while creating; and you don't feel rushed to finish even if you go slower. Laura is always floating around and keeping an eye on where you are, and has supplies ready for your next step right when you need them, while somehow still interacting, offering suggestions, answering questions and being readily available. Amazing way to shop local!
