Miscellaneous Class / Teacher Comments

"The Nova Studio is an important place for people into creating their own bath and body products (personally and/or professionally). So, I'm grateful to have found it (was referred by one of your previous students)." - Tanisha Pisha

"Wonderful class (Healing Herbs for Healthy Skin). Monique was fabulous. I was impressed by her knowledge on herbs. Ten years ago, I would walk right pass the herbal section and would not think about herbs. Today I see the health benefits. After learning about the different types of herbs in class, I went out the next day and bought lavender, chamomile, nettle, hibiscus, and GSE just so I could make a herbal infusion for soap making (another great class). The balm we took home really helped my dried knuckles. My knuckles tend to get dried and lotions do not work. But the balm worked fabulous!" - Julie Chiu

"The drawing workshop was great! We had all kinds of tools and mediums to work with, and I felt like a true artist! Patricia was great, she helped us out and inspired me to draw more freely, rather than feeling bad about any mistakes that we made. We used an ink medium which was the best, and we used all kinds of different brushes to have different effects. She told us how to improve on a picture and we got to take home the materials that we used in order to finish and continue to do what we started in class. Thank you so much! I know that my brother really enjoyed it too. I look forward to taking more art classes at the nova studio!" - Janet Genser

"Patricia's life drawing class was wonderful. I have taken life drawing though out the years and the body has always seemed daunting to me. Patricia gave us so many introductions and ways to approach drawing of the body, that I think I finally have a grip, a place to begin. As you may imagine, I am very excited and look forward to continuing this exploration. I suggest that Patricia does a once a month drawing class." - Judy Rattner

"I really enjoyed the healthy herbs class... Monique was so informative and interesting to listen to. Her easygoing nature made it even more special to attend. Thanks again and see you soon." - Sylvia Loya-Diaz

"I had a great time in the still life drawing class. I really liked the way Patricia allowed us to not be perfect in our drawings. It was very liberating. Now I really feel like drawing more than I did previously. See you at the next one." - Debbie Heatherington

"The foot reflexology class was worth waiting for. Carol knows her subject well and, better yet, she's skillful at imparting the information with humor, interest, patience and heart. My feet loved the workshop, too." - Ellen Dietschy

"My husband John and I had fun in the foot reflexology class. I thought Carol did a great job and the handouts were helpful too. Thanks!" - Regina Oryall

"I had a wonderfully inspiring time at the flower essences class! I thought that Joel was a very informative teacher with a wonderful, relaxed manner. Hsiao and I enjoyed the class so much that we immediately went to the Elephant Pharmacy afterwards and purchased a few bottles of essences to begin on areas that we felt were important. I also went on line the next day and purchased two sets of essences for Hsiao and my son and one for myself. I'm interested in doing more research on the subject matter and look forward to keeping a journal to record any responses. Can't wait to begin experimenting! Thanks again." - Linda Goodman
