Great experience with online classes

Signed up for masking techniques when Altenew offered a freebie. Had some issues connecting to the class once I signed up for it. Altenew staff was quick to respond and help me with the issues. Have watched the first two demos so far and they are taught well and offer lots of inspiration! Looking forward to the other videos and signing up for some of the other classes in the future.

I heard several great new ideas, and the tips are all helpful. The cute chuckle that These has is also adorable!

Happy to learn something new

I enjoy watching Therese’s online class, get new inspirations and revisit some tips. Nevertheless, this class is more like entry level rather than intermediate to me.

Therese is a very well spoken teacher and a joy to listen to. She loves interacting with students even when explaining her own mistakes and how to correct them. Beginners to advanced shouldn't hesitate to sign up for this class.
