I’ve taken several of Emilies classes, but this one has been my favourite so far.
Easy to follow and I’m really happy with how my pieces came out!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the class, Emily. Your pieces are stunning!!! So proud :)
Emilie's year-long course has been one of the best investments I have made as a beginning creator. She is inviting, incredibly thorough, and thoughtful in all of her classes, and her Facebook group is always a nice place to ask questions and gain feedback for your work. I cannot recommend her courses enough! I am usually an in-person learner, but she has made it amazingly easy to learn from across the country. 11/10. Gift yourself this education!
I'm so happy you've enjoyed the membership, Sara!!!
