  • "I loved being in this workshop. Heidi is very wise and down to Earth. She knows how to connect and communicate with teens in a way that most adults struggle with."

    — Julia U., Student of Summer Art Program

  • As a teacher, I don't often have time to sit and experience my own craft. While she was here, even I was able to do that...to take some of the concepts she was teaching and practice them myself.
