What They’re Saying

Have just completed the online class. Truly inspiring. I’m looking at spirals in an all new way and this class is full of detailed explanations supported by the video. I don’t hesitate in calling this a Master Class of Collage. There is absolutely nothing missing and beautifully produced! All my questions were answered. —Joanne Hannon Shaw

I call this online course a master class not because completing it will make one a master (though it could over time). I use “master” here in its other sense, like a master key, one that opens every lock.

The Fabric Collage Online Master Class is not limited to a particular project. Instead it leads the student to a comprehensive understanding of fabric collage methods and techniques, enabling them to complete any project they choose.

What They’re Saying

The mix of text and video instruction combine to make the online class experience a success. Susan Carlson’s clear and concise presentations make you feel as if you are in a class with her. It might be intimidating to view the whole project but dividing the class into manageable ‘bites’ moves it along so that you can absorb the information, create your design and have success. —Mary McMurray Cannizzaro, Master Class Trial Student
