Student Testimonials:
"Kirsten is a very generous teacher. She provided a wonderful short cut to learning her techniques by sharing her deep experience. The Zoom format-rather than a YouTube video-offers a far more personal and interactive learning experience. She showed lots of her work...and gave an effective step-by-step presentation with plenty of opportunity to 'see' her mind working, ask questions, and follow along."
"Felt very inspired and sitmulated despite the class being fast and it being hard to see what Kristin was doing some times."
