  • "I’m so glad I took Gloria's course. I’ve worked in mixed media for several years now and still learned so many new things from her that my head was spinning. Thank you for the generosity - with supplies, knowledge, time and the many tips shared."

  • "I just completed a week-long course with Gloria. It’s not my first class with her. In fact, it was my third class. Why do I come back? It’s really quite simple. Gloria is a wealth of artistic and creative knowledge. When I finish a class, I’m closer to being the artist I believe I can be. I can’t wait to enroll again."

    Steve R.

  • "I really appreciated Gloria's class. I had done some monoprinting before with varied results. I like the way she teaches. Not everyone has the gift for teaching - and she does. Calm and supportive work for me; and Gloria has buckets of those qualities."
