Textile Art with Pizzazz! Six Lessons $65
Testimonials
Textile Art with Pizzazz was excellent. The course material was extensive and will prove very useful reference material for future use. The very constructive critiques given by Debbie enabled us to develop their own ‘eye’ for what works and what does not. Don’t worry if you think it is outside of your comfort zone as there is something in it for everyone and how often does one get a chance to work with a Fiber Artist like Debbie PAM
My art quilt is named OPTIMISM. I think it came out well because it came from my inside. The critiques gave a good result-it forced me to be myself in a way it made me go further on. You are a very clever artist and a dedicated teacher – you really want people to learn. For the first time in a very long period a teacher could teach me so many things. PIA-Denmark
Through this class I’ve learned so much about the importance of values and contrast, and especially for me, about mixing different colour temperatures in a quilt. This is knowledge for life. I’m very pleased with this class. I feel I have got information the size of a book. Together with Debbie’s excellent critiques and guidance, this has been like an adventurous journey. Thank you, Debbie! DELBRA-Virginia
