Your property and studio were so inspirational, Kathy. I must say that this was a large factor in ho  Your property and studio were so inspirational, Kathy. I must say that this was a large factor in how I felt over the entire weekend. You were so organized that it never felt like we got off schedule. What a wonderful place you and Bill have put together. Its evident the amount of time and hard work youve put in to making sure that its not just another class that someone is taking, but an entire experience. I am so glad I found Valley Ridge and am anxious to continue attending workshops in the years to come.
