I have no upper body strength, whatsoever, so for those who have trouble pushing even doors, I would caution you to pump some iron a week before this tour.  Pay special attention to the part about "how not to flip" and "what to do if you do flip",…More »

3.0 star rating

This is a 3.0 for their introductory beading class.

I am true beginner in that I know nothing about beading.  I took this class because I thought it would be a good idea to design my own jewelry to accessorize my outfits with and perhaps learn to fix…More »

The outside architecture of the library is beautiful....reminds me of the shape of a rolled crepe or a cigar cookie!  (Food is everywhere in my mind...alas, I digress.)

I just started the first (of four) beginner's sewing classes.  I appreciate that Sheila's studio is clean and organized. Even though it's on the basement floor of the building, you don't feel like you are because the industrial room has tall ceilings…More »
