What My Students Are Saying
“Each lecture felt like a little doorway with a big flashing welcome sign beckoning me back into the studio. So affirming. I felt that the exercises were gentle and doable, and also left room for my own interpretation.”
— Emily, “Speak to Me From Everywhere”
“I appreciated Laurie’s gentle and powerful nudge to continue to find my way in making my art while acknowledging and accepting the challenges that continue to emerge for me as a maker.”
— Deb, “Grain of Hope”
“One of Laurie’s gifts is her generosity in teaching us how to create an intentional sacred space within which we can savor curiosity and welcome the muse. Learning and exploring within this context is liberating.”
