    Anonymous review on 11/11/2016
    Love the bead weaving. The pearl knotting was difficult. The teacher was good. More time should've been spent on putting on the clasps as it was rather difficult.

    Wish more techniques were included in the class. The second class was good (included making beaded earrings and attaching clasps for bracelets), but pearl stringing of the first class took way too long. It'll be great if there was better time management.

    Anonymous review on 5/16/2015
    I'm feeling discouraged and disappointed after this class. I don't think this is a beginner's class, unless the person happens to have an innate talent for this work. The instructor is patient and offers some helpful tips, but at times she left out crucial parts of instruction, such as using a dowel. She clearly has a lot of knowledge, but was unclear at times and the directions on the handouts were inaccurate or confusing. The best stitch was the last one we learned, the easiest one.
