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!
