What People Are Saying

Sara is an excellent teacher! I've taken several of her classes over the years, including water marbling, gel plate monoprinting, and drypoint intaglio printmaking using Tetra Pak. Every class has been such a unique and enjoyable experience.

Sara creates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to jump in, have fun, and simply enjoy the creative process. We laugh, make a mess, and always end up creating something we're proud of.

Whether you're an experienced artist or just looking to try something new, Sara has a wonderful way of helping everyone feel comfortable, inspired, and successful. I always leave her classes feeling creatively energized, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, supportive, and rewarding artistic experience.

I took Sara's water marbling class and had a blast! I had never done something like that before and would have never tried it on my own, but Sara's passion for art and experimentation put me at ease. She creates a positive, fun environment that makes the entire experience a joy. I will definitely take more art classes from Sara!

— Diane B.

After taking software classes from Sara many years ago, I knew her art classes would be enjoyable. She has a long history of working with intimidated adult learners. She explains every step, twice if necessary, and her enthusiasm is contagious. I highly recommend Craft Cats for beginners and experienced artists alike!
