From our guests


β€œIn our visit with Jen we learned some of the β€œtricks” that have been used for hundred of years. This wonderful experience was great fun under Jen’s gentle guidance. Jen is a true artist, natural teacher, and a wonderful kind person. I’ll be back for more learning and laughter before long, thank you for two hours of sheer joy!”

β€œI absolutely loved this experience. I’ve been wanting to learn Florentine marbling for years, and this was such a special opportunity to learn the history AND have a hands on chance to marble papers myself. It was an absolute delight from start to finish, and I love that I have these papers as a souvenir and moments of this occasion. Jen was so kind and accommodating, and I would absolutely do this again.”
