"I liked the comprehensive coverage of techniques and materials and discussion about other possible applications. Angela was very knowledgeable and articulate with instruction - and very inspirational. Thank you!" - Tammie Abel

"I like the way you teach - very focused on your teaching and set a wonderful pace for the class without losing any valuable time: You are also very inquisitive and open about answering questions that people may have on subjects that are not entirely about what's on hand but somehow related to one another." - Anonymous

"Each image transfer project was done quickly and easily (instant gratification). Angela's instruction and handouts were easy to follow and I enjoyed her enthusiasm. The class was so much fun! INSPIRING!!!" - Rowena Cerri

"This class (inkjet transfers) has given me so many (too many?) ideas for playing with computer images. Thank you Angela!" - Pat Henshaw

"Image Transfer Techniques was an exciting class! You can make lots of creative things and take them home. It was really great to use my own photos. I would recommend this class to a friend. Thanks!" - Emily Stone

"i loved angela's inkjet transfer class... it was full of info, well presented. angela has loads of valuable experience that she has organized and presents clearly... just not enough time! would love to take a 2-day (or 1/2 day) workshop with Angela wherein we can focus on 1 or 2 methods in a more in depth way... love your beautiful space, too!" - Paula deJoie

"Angela was excellent! She would walk around to make sure we were all on the right track. She had a good personality. I would recommend her to anyone and would be interested in learning more techniques from her. If you want my honest opinion, I would recommend Nova Studio to anyone. The Nova Studio is a whole new dimension for me, away from the everyday stress life. You go in not knowing anything and come out with a mindful of ideas. When I took Angela's (image transfer) class, I knew nothing. I was overwhelmed with ideas that I couldn't think of questions to ask during class. I was too busy absorbing. But Angela was a step ahead. She gave us her email at the end of class. Sure enough I had questions for her later on. Thank you, Nova Studio." - Julie Chiu

"I loved Angela's inkjet transfer class. It was clear, informative, concise and fun. She has wonderful skills in organization and in the creative arts which I found to be very special. Sometimes an artistic person is not always the organized, but she was great. Please keep me on your list." - Carolyn Robbins

"The image transfer class was very worthwhile & the possibilities are endless. Angela has the expertise, patience, & enthusiasm which make her a terrific teacher. She asks great questions & seems genuinely interested in her students interests. Thanks for having great classes. Your school is very special. You deserve all the success! I'm telling my friends." - Andi Libberton Bird

"Angela is an excellent teacher (inkjet image transfers) and I love being in your studio. Thanks." - Emily Rosenberg

" I so enjoyed the image transfer class. Angela is a great teacher and very inspiring. I appreciate that she works with water soluble transfers instead of solvent transfers. So much more healthy for all of us. Thank you for including her in the schedule!" - Mary Still

"I really enjoyed the Inkjet Image Transfer class. Angela was well prepared and kept us moving along so we had time to be introduced to several processes. She provided great support material in the way of handouts. She appeared very knowledgeable in a variety of techniques that would benefit the collage artist. The impression I received from the other students were that they were very happy with what we had learned. I would definitely recommend the workshop. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon." - Anonymous

"First - About The Nova Studio in general. I have taken a couple of classes there now and each time have been impressed with the quality of the instruction. The instructors (Diane & Angela) were always well-prepared, organized and knowledgeable. If I needed to bring something, I was always advised, well in advance, specifically about what I need to bring. After each class, I always come away inspired and with tips and tricks to aid me in future projects. I like the short classes since I learn enough to try things on my own afterwards and am not overwhelmed by technique overload. There are always detailed handouts to help me out, too. About Angela - I took her (image transfer) class because it sounded like it would reinforce or build on some knowledge that I already had. It definitely did. I appreciated Angela's enthusiasm for the image transfer process and her individual help and encouragement during class. I'd like to take another class with her, exploring advanced techniques or doing a collage." - Betty Walker

"Angela was great (inkjet transfers)! I love her work and would take a class from her again. She had mentioned doing a 2-day class collage workshop that I am interested in. If you decide to do this please let me know because my weekends tend to get booked up and I don’t want to miss it. I’m also interested in taking Diane’s advanced altered books class – last time it was offered I already had plans. You have a wonderful studio! Much Thanks!" - Sherry Tobin

"Hi Angela, I enjoyed your (image transfer) class last Sunday -- it opens up many possibilities for my collage art. Thank you." - Robert Huang

"I just wanted to send you a quick response to the image transfer class I took this afternoon. It was great! Angela is a great instructor and speaker. I learned so much and I enjoyed coming away with so many experiment samples done in class, as well as inspirations for other future projects. I really appreciated the information packed handout, which she supplied everyone with at the beginning of the class. I especially appreciated that it was so well laid out and that it followed her presentation so closely. This was my first class at your studio and I really enjoyed myself. For anyone wanting to take any of your classes, I would strongly recommend taking them with a friend. My friend Donna who took the class with me also enjoyed it and will be applying the techniques to soaps, while I will be applying the technique to glass, and we have been exchanging comments and questions about the class all week long." - Isela Idzerda

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Image Transfer class last Sunday, and enjoyed Angela as well. It was a small class, which made it more fun, probably. Angela is very organized and a good teacher... I got a good overview of the different processes and ideas of which one's I'd like to pursue. As for Nova Studio - it's a lovely space, easy to get to and easy to use, great light, good communication from you. Hope you keep it going. Thanks and best wishes." - Jennifer Thompson

"I loved the Image Transfer class. Angela was great and I'll probably take any class she offers. I thought The Nova Studio space was just perfect! - Carol Granison

"I loved the class I took (image transfer). The instructor (Angela) was super knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Everything was ready to go with excellent handouts. I've already been repeating the process learned at home. And I loved the studio too. What a great space. I felt the creative juices start flowing as soon as I walked in. Its colorful, its spacious yet cozy. Being located in lovely historic Point Richmond was like taking a mini- retreat but with no traffic. Easy to drive to and easy to be at. It doesn't get any better than this!!" - Leana Alba

"The image transfer class was great. It has inspired all sorts of creative ideas." - Nancy Copeland

"Angela's image transfer class was fun and inspiring. Not only did I learn non-toxic means of transferring images to various materials, I also met some wonderful classmates. It was hands-on, fun, and we went home with a variety of objects as well as ignited with ideas. Angela's teaching ability was friendly, her knowledge of her subject was thorough, and her ability to transfer the information was clear. Everyone in her class wanted to join another one of her classes and wanted her to continue this subject matter." - Judy Rattner

"I was so happy with the (image transfer) class -- what a great find your studio is! Angela was extremely generous with both her knowledge, and the amount of materials she gave us to work with. I've been to other classes where the instructors act as though you're out to rob them blind if they turn their backs for a moment, so this was a pleasant surprise. One of the best things, to me, was that we started exactly on time and went at the perfect pace throughout the class. I couldn't believe how much we covered, but at the same time, I never felt at all rushed. She made sure that we got each technique down before beginning a new one. I can't think of a thing to change about this class. I was so happy with it -- it exceeded my expectations. I also loved the fact that we didn't use solvents. Angela's a patient and precise instructor and I'd be happy to take another class with her. Your studio, too, is welcoming and your reasonable prices insure that I'll be able to sample lots of your classes throughout the year. I'm so glad I stumbled across you guys on the internet. You're a great addition to the arts scene and, again, my first class with you was just fantastic. Thanks." - Susan McDowell

"Sorry it took me so long to get back to you about the Inkjet Transfer Class. I loved it. Once again, Angela shared her wealth of knowledge with us and was patient, thorough and clear. I like the pacing of her classes as well. I'd be up for taking other courses with her. She's terrific (and so is your studio!)." - Susan McDowell

"I just attended the 1/25 image transfer class with Angela Silva today at the studio. You should know that it was a very fun and satisfying 3 hours. We each walked away with about 5-6 pieces. Angela is knowledgeable and easy-going... Thanks again for offering such a wonderful class and teacher. By the way, the Nova Studio is beautiful!" - Rowena Raborar

"I loved the image transfer class. The techniques were way easier than I thought they would be and Angela's examples inspired many ideas for my own art work." - Mary Beth Ray

"Angela had great ideas for us and lots of supplies to choose from. I've been able to work with the tips she gave us to make more decoupage items as gifts for the holidays." - Anne Zieminski
