Wow! $300! Yikes! I thought the one I see was expensive given her lack of experience. I like the idea of a longer session for art though. I don’t think I could be in a room that long with art T but it would be nice if I could with awesome T.
I like that you found someone that doesn’t crocheting! One of the challenges I have with art T is she gets frustrated that my preferred media are not “messy enough”… she seems to be biased towards paint. Right now I am working a lot with fabric. So… knowing that they like or are at least open to working in something you like seems to be a plus.
