“I had so much fun designing with the different types of wood and metal letterpress blocks. I really enjoyed the tactile quality of making the design; it felt very different to designing digitally. Christy was very helpful in troubleshooting the design so that it looked fantastic.”

— Isabel B., Middleton, Wis.
"You are an outstanding teacher and helped us to feel confident in creating our posters. Your studio is so lovely and well organized. We were comfortable and really enjoyed the creative process as you guided us through."

–Susan W., Mineral Point, Wis.
