Fun learning environment. I learned a lot and was able to try something I would not have tried on my own. I am very interested in another mosaics class. Cindy was so informative, encouraging, and approachable. Also am interested in trying a class in something else after this good experience!

This class was so fun, creative and relaxing! Cindy Michaud, our wonderful instructor, created this environment and encouraged us to be bold and have fun with mosaics. I had never done mosaics before and I felt confident after Cindy’s instructions and left with a beautiful new mosaic project I could keep in my home. Cindy supplied everything for us and made it really easy. The fellow students were so nice, too. All in all an excellent experience. I cannot wait til my next class at Watauga Arts Council!

Pamela’s class was just what I was looking for to start exploring boro and Japanese art of slow stitching. She was very generous with her time and ideas and as an added bonus I think I made some new friends.

This class was perfect for me. The skills and techniques were right at my level and pushed me forward. Pamela is not only knowledgeable and skilled, she’s encouraging and uplifting in a way that made me feel that I could achieve more than I would have pushed myself to do without her. I would take any class she teaches.
Thanks to WAC for making classes like this available.

Cindy is an amazing art teacher. At the first class, I was nervous since I am not an artsy person (or I should say I WASN’T an artsy person), but she explained each step with clear instructions, showed us the process as many times as we asked, and helped all of us throughout. Her sense of humor put us at ease and built a community from what was once strangers. She gave freely of her time, extending the class hours and even offering a make up day. The last day, Cindy told us where her studio is and remarked that our relationships and learning with her weren’t over - that we can drop in her studio for help as needed. We are all anxious for more classes from her - if Cindy offers a class, I’ll be there!
