★★★★★
“A fabulous introduction to dry point etching. Renee is a wonderful teacher-explains and demonstrates clearly and is open to experimenting with our sometimes wayward ideas! Patient and encouraging when things aren’t going to plan…I was thrilled with my end result. I only wish the course had been twice as long!”
