    This class is totally on trend. I can see it being VERY popular among crafters. Speaker is well versed in the subject/techniques; obviously very passionate & a creative/visionary with paper crafter how-to. I would suggest for him on future verbal teachings, that the elimination of the verbal tick of "umm", sometimes up to 3 (umms) in a 2 minute span, or an "umm" in each sentence said, which can be grating on my delicate senses. Otherwise, A++++. Thank you.

    This class if filled with new and fun ways to use the paper that we have in stock. In addition, the paper technique that utilizes Suminagashi Ink is mind blowing! Anyone who loves to create beautiful things will enjoy this class. Robert is one who is an exceptional instructor, in that when he is demonstrating a new technique, he has an ability to use clear concise language. I have enjoyed the class, and plan to use the gorgeous floral pieces in my studio and home, along with creating a lovely party. Thank you!

    Robert Mahar is an excellent teacher with many great examples on paper crafting. Robert has encouraged me to continue working on my sculpted watercolor paper flowers—now I have a bunch of new tips and tricks to try. This class is well worth the price
