Jean Brady conducted a well organized and extremely informative class on block printing. I learned so many things that I did not know and practice them and I feel more informed in going further in my block printing. She was a kind and good teacher and so caring, Aya is a great studio to take various forms of art classes. Suzanne runs a professional and complete studio.
Awesome class! It was my first introduction to block printing and Jeanne was an excellent instructor. Also, the studio space and support services provided by Suzanne were top-notch. I can’t wait to take another workshop at the Aya Fiber Studio.
The process is so much fun and the instructor is absolutely delightful. She never stopped circulating the studio to give in the moment feedback. I learned so much! Thank you Aya Fiber Studio for a great experience!
