Witnessing the inspiration, excitement, and lights coming on in the eyes of my students energizes, nurtures, and grows my art making and designing. These valid, flow state experiences, of personal expression can be achieved in as little as 45 minutes with limited supplies and a well-laid path for people to be led through the door past their anxiety and trauma, (and it is this healing, universal experience that inspires me to continue teaching and sharing my crafts with others.)
