What Students Are Saying

Liz Whiteside's Beginner Online Tapestry Classes were just what I needed to unlock my tapestry journey.  I had been taking a few online courses but it just wasn't clicking.  Liz starts from the very beginning using clear, calm and inspiring instructions.  It's like sitting with a friend who is supportively helping you understand each step.  I can easily go back to the online classes if I have forgotten a step or need to solve my error.  Now I am learning from my mistakes rather than being left in the dark.  I am looking forward to Liz's Artful Threads program, but in the meantime I am building my skills and have found the joy of learning tapestry weaving!  Thank you Liz!
