    Reviewed by Anju D. on 3/12/2024
    I’ve taken sewing classes with 10+ students and I much prefer the private classes, as I can get all my questions answered without waiting. Ingvild is patient and encouraging. I was able to finish the pouch in 1.5 hours, working at a leisurely pace.

  • Vedic Art - Intuitive/Mindful Painting

    Anonymous review on 5/20/2018
    It is absurd that this woman is charging money for this class. I went with my mom and siblings to this class and we were all shocked by the experience. There was absolutely no guidance and “Vedic art” seems to be completely made up. I was really hopeful after reading the positive reviews of this class but I was disappointed. We started by doodling on a piece of paper to follow our “instincts” and she told us to “go for it” and paint. She sat and doodled on a piece of paper for two hours while we painted. Thankfully we all had previous painting experience and were familiar with the materials. When my sister in law tried to ask a question about the other principles of Vedic art she refused to share them with us. The entire experience was incredibly strange.
