“Really liked having Debbie for a teacher-she’s incredibly creative. Artistic M&P was a full day class. We had plenty of time to play/draw/create which is very important. Debbie is obviously very creative and has experimented with melt and pour and made a fantastic 'portfolio' of products. She taught a variety of techniques and styles, kept tools and clutter to a minimum, and kept it simple with colors and scents, etc. Debbie shared a lot of information and ideas as well as good tips and tricks. The techniques she used were easy to follow and look great even for a non-'artist' like me and beginners who have no clue what’s going on. Debbie opened my eyes to a whole new design approach.” - Anonymous
