"Shannon is a thoughtful, patient and kind teacher. She plans her classes in a way that feels manageable for the beginner, yet challenging enough for the more experienced metalsmith. One of my favorite things about Shannon is the way she effortlessly assists her students in unwinding (the ever-occurring) unexpected blunders with positive expectation and calmness. (Thank goodness!) Shannon's attention to detail is unmatched, and her presentation/materials are first class. Shannon is generous in sharing her secrets. If you trust her, she will show you how to create beautiful art!"
"I have taken an in person and an online class with Shannon. Her videos are extremely detailed with close up video so you can really see what she is doing. The videos are very thorough, clear and easy to follow, making it much easier to follow the instructions. Shannon is also quick to respond to any questions. I really enjoyed the classes and won't hesitate to continue taking online (and in person) classes with her as I know I'll be able to complete the project."
