UPCOMING PMC CLASSES
What makes a good teacher? Is it the fact that I have passed all three certification
courses? Is it that I have taught for more than 12 years? Yes I am skilled in PMC, glass and
painting. But does that make me a good teacher? No it doesn't. What makes me a good
teacher is my passion, and the confidence I have in my ability to relate that excitement through
the classes I teach, and the art you create. Class sizes are small to give you lots of personal
attention, so sign up early!
