What Students are saying...

“Salima is very thorough, patient, and a wonderful instructor. I have taken several of her classes and have learned so much from each one. She is so creative and has great projects. I am definitely looking forward to more classes and retreats in the future."

 Joy R.

“These retreats and classes with Salima are designed for and successful in allowing all participants to learn, work at their own pace, complete projects, and be introduced to skills at all levels. There is opportunity to ask questions, watch the process, get hands on practice, receive individualized help, share tips and tricks, and truly increase anyone's knowledge base. Each and every participant will experience acceptance, encouragement, and achievement."
Connie J.

"The project was very fun.  The techniques taught were amazing. I again learned a lot from Salima, who is a wonderful and patient instructor. I would recommend any class she teaches."

Sandy H.

I learn best by doing(making projects). Because Salima is live on Zoom, questions are answered immediately. There are so many techniques used, My Design Center (digitizing), Scan n Cut and more. Great learning and FUN!

Janet U.

Salima has outdone herself yet again. This was the BEST retreat yet. I ALWAYS learn something new not matter how many classes I have taken from Salima. And the provided kit for the retreat has everything you need including the stabilizers. And her instructions are so well written you can follow them over and over again long after the class to recreate a project. Salima is so professional, warm and patient! Excellent retreat!!!!!
