I wanted to do a quick and easy one day workshop with a friend. I was hoping for a craft that was new to me and for a workshop that was reasonably priced. This fit all those criteria for me! The vibe was friendly and I learned new things (herbs, how they impact the body, etc.). Su is knowledgeable and a great teacher.
